Hi Zacmcclane... That build looks great to me. The Aventum is an awesome system.
Just a couple of things... The X79 Deluxe motherboard has onboard WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity so the added WiFi card might not be needed. The Deluxe mobo also has 2x USB 2.0 and 6x USB 3.0 ports on the back panel and lots more on the mobo so the added USB card might not be needed but depends on your needs. Looks good and best of luck.

Personally for the hardware you have listed in your configuration go with the hailstorm for a lot less money this saved money could go towards another 680 instead of paying a steep premium on the aventum and only getting one graphics card and only cpu liquid cooling

I was thinking the same thing as tju76. A big beautiful Aventum build without SLI video cards could be case & cooling overkill. I'd suggest overclocking the 3930k to Stage 2, and spend the rest on 2 x SLI 680's in a different case and your graphics & CPU performance should be quite comparable to the Aventum build you are considering. I can recommend the Hailstorm case... I have a Hailstorm with the 3930k on stage 4 LCS, and 2 x SLI 680 Classified cards on air...just select the DS option to put a fan or two in the Hailstorm case window to keep the 680's nice and cool. You could also save a few bucks and go without the Sound Blaster card, as the X79 Deluxe board has 7.1 audio built in.
