PSU is a little overboard, and no SSD? Good build, but should defiantly have a boot drive.

Looks pretty good but I'd swap out the GTX 680 for a 7970 since it's a better performer for less and has an extra gig of vRAM.

Would also swap out the NZXT HALE PSU for a Rosewill HIVE series for the sake of credibility and reputation.

Make sure you get low profile RAM for the NH - D14.

RAM without heatsinks giving it a minimalistic profile that is physically low so there is no compatibility issues with heatsinks.
