You may find that some of that stuff you won't need or use. Try reducing the amount of RAM. 32GB is too much and therefore wasting money. Bring it down to 16GB. And are you going to use the full 2TB of storage? Along with 2 SSDs?

I thought more ram would be better since most new Games are running off R.A.M For exp. DayZ runs off R.A.M or am i completely wrong?

That amount of RAM is completely unnessisary, 16 GB is overkill enough really. And you really don't need 2 SSD's, they are fast enough so there is no need to put them in a RAID if that's what you're planning on doing.
Those are just my suggestions.

Want to save some money?
- change cpu to i5 3570k
- drop ram to 8-12gb RAM no more is need for gaming.
- drop to 1TB HDD (unless you are going to have like - 100+games installed haha)
- just go with 1x 120GB SSD
- Drop liquid cooling unless over clocking and grab a good after market air cooling.
- Drop the 1000w, I am sure you will be fine with a 750w and get modular as you don't seam to worry about price. (will still save though)
- Now you dropped the liquid cooling you can go to a mid tower case.
Recommended power supply:
Corsair Professional Series AX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (AX750)
Recommended air cooler:
Noctua NH-U9B SE2
The liquid cooling is alright if you really want it.
Recommeded Cases:
- Zalman z9/z11
- Haf 912/922
- nzxt Phantom 420...
AND YOU WILL STILL RUN ANY GAME, on ultra.
