2.5/10.
LGA 2011 platform over 1155.
Overpriced Sabercrap board. It has the same features of boards half the price but because of the childish and useless thermal armour, the price is increased but no justified.
Overpriced CPU. A 3770k gets about the same performance but the price is not nearly as high.
You can get a 3770k + water-cooling EK loop for the same price as one 3930k. Not like you'd need either considering an i3-2100 would be more than enough.
GTX 680 over AMD 7970 which is $100 less and a better performer. OpenCL compared to CUDA. If you compare GTX 670 vs GTX 680 benchmarks, you'd see maybe a 5% difference in games. The GTX 680 price is not justified 99.9% of the time.
Raidmax PSU. Nothing more to say here.
Sandisk SSD over Samsung, Intel, Crucial, Mushkin, Plextor which are more popular, trusted, and reputable brands out there with better firmware and controllers.
RAM with useless heatsinks.
It's a dumb build all around, especially since you said yourself you're going to be playing Minecraft + recording ( like that's intensive ).

Much money wasted across the board. Clearly an amateur build, moreso immature. Lots of parts were chosen due to their aesthetics and large numbers. I bet that's why you chose the Sabersh*t and 3930k, "Whoa man, 6 cores :O."
For that price you could've had a decent full watercooling loop. Like Generation said you could've and should've gotten a 7970 and add that to your loop with a waterblock.
I honestly hope your PSU burns out real quick and takes all of your parts with it. And I wouldn't go with either of those storage drives, period. Again like Generation said, pointless over-flashy RAM.
I'm sorry you didn't get to post a build request and have us organize parts for you.
