$4000 Build - Advice please

Hi Everyone, after doing all my research I think I have settled on the build I want. Details are below. Please let me know what you think.

My original intention (when considering having the Sabertooth motherboard) was to add a wireless network card and a sound card. However, a few people suggested that the ASUS Z87 Deluxe was a better board and it offered on board wireless and good sound (having optical out is essential for me/my headset).

Edit- During live chat as I was customizing my build I asked about the Video Card and Motherboard changes. I was told to put details in the special comments and submit my order and I'd hear back with an exact price, but the only options I seem to get are to input credit card details, check, etc. How can I get a quote, taking into account the specific Video Cards and alternative Motherboard, before I go ahead and officially choose to purchase?

I also meant to ask:
Will both of the hard drive hot swap bays on the front of the case by wired up and ready for use?

I will call... but I was under the impression that they discussed configurations in this forum, don't they?

No problem Alex. I shall email.

You do realize though this forum description says "For a professional review of your customized configuration, post it here for professional advice". That's why I posted it in here.

Actually I totally forgot about that. We changed it to a more accurate description now "Get feedback from other customers and enthusiasts about a new configuration." Thank you for pointing this out.

Hi ScottishBattleAx......This is a great place to discuss configs and try to answer questions.    We usually do a decent job and have fun with it but, at least for myself, questions come up that I/ we just can't answer.    

The hot swap bay question was one of those questions but I should have replied and explained that at one time the answer was always, Yes, the bays are wired for power and to the mobo sata ports, But, recent answers from DS was that Not Always since they have had problems with the hot swaps.   I couldn't explain what the problem was so just let it slide.   

We win some we lose some.

Good luck.

Tidgxor called me a Professional... I thought he knew me better than that.

The one problem I have heard about the hot swaps is that, mechanically, plugging a drive in can be a pain.    Tight and some jiggling is necessary.

DS will hold a build but not sure they'll special order without money to hold so they don't get stuck with them and whatever cost to get.    But, only DS can answer for sure.

Titans are the best, but the 780 is 90% of the performance for 75% of the money.    Not dis'ing the Titan.   You can't go wrong either way.      Also, oc'ing a video card shows only a small bump in performance but more stress.   

Just my 2¢.

Alex, you may also want to update the text on the page displayed after saving a configuration

It still has the pro review/pro advice message the forum used to have.

Not sure, but I know i've seen some builds where custoemrs send their hdds and such. I imagine this to be a HUGE pain in case of any warranty issues or compatibility problems, the wait is long enough as it is with only a few special requests! lol I'm throwing in my opctical drives and hdds when it arrives.

Only Alex or a DS rep can say for sure, but I am almost positive that there is a surcharge for this. Its essentially a "fee" that DS adds on to the part to factor in their warranty. This fee is already incorporated into the prices of their stock items, so a new item would have a fee (set or calculated) added to it, to cover the testing/warranty/etc. That extra price margin is how DS makes a profit.
