video card: EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Super clocked 1280 MB GDDR5
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 16 GB PC3-12800
power supply: Corsair Enthusiast 850 Watts
Cool Master HAF ATX Mid Tower
Western Digital 1 TB 7200 RPM HD
Corsair Hydro Series H80 CPU Cooler.

Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appriciated, any recommendations are ALWAYS welcome as well.
This is an all-around solid build; for the most part, I won't change anything except for the case (for its lack of USB 3.0 ports on the front panel, as well as not having dust filters for the fans).

For the same price, I would wait for the Corsair Carbide Series 400R to make its way to retail (which is temporarily out of stock on Amazon at the moment). As you can see, it can house a pair of GTX 580s with room to spare (and yes, that is a Hydro Series H80 CPU cooler mounted in the picture ):
