Hi L2Phantom.      That rig is pretty much right on.
 
If you're doing the LED fan upgrade for looks then I hope they don't replace the HafX 230mm front or 200mm side panel fans.  Not sure where they put the fans.  The HafX is the best air cooled case and why mess with it.  I would ask DS.
 
No HDD for cheaper storage.  The SSDs will fill-up real quick.  Maybe you have an extra to put in there?  Hot Swaps hint at that.
 
Other that that you picked a great psu, mobo and graphic card and the stage 4 cooler is nice..  Others might comment on the RAID 0 but I don't get into that.
 
A really nice build and best of luck.  Keep us updated.Big%20Smile
