Nice, I'm eyeing up this package for my son to run his nvidia shield off of.

That is going to be a very smooth machine.

The i7 is beautiful.
Rumor has it though that one of the recent i5 models is actually just an i7 with different overclocking software to slow it down, BTW. It might be a way to get the i7 performance cheaper, but again, cross reference that because I'm not sure how true it is.
Otherwise, this build looks damn sick.

Soon I will have to look at building a new one for home. Currently I'm running an AMD x8 @ 4.4ghz, 16GB DDR1600, 240GB SSD/1TB HD/2TB HD, and two HD 6950s in Crossfire. Seeing this makes me want to start putting together Newegg wish lists.

I'm running an i5-3570 and while I'm sure it's slower than an i7, I don't notice it being slow at all under a typical workload. I think the biggest difference between the i5 and the i7 is that the i7 supports Hyperthreading. I know the guys at work love the i7s for doing big C++ compiles, but since I try not to do anything work-like at home it's not a big deal.
Otherwise I really like your build. It's quite similar to what I'm running. I've got the older Samsung 830 SSD and a 2TB WD Black, and my video card is the older GeForce 560Ti. It's a really nice setup; the 560Ti can push pixels fast enough that I can game in 1920x1200 at 60FPS as long as I don't get too carried away with anti-aliasing, so I would expect that you could just crank everything to max without even thinking about it with a 760. The Hyper 212 EVO is a terrific CPU cooler too - mine is in a micro-ATX case and the fan speed almost never goes above idle with a 50 degree celsius target.
My case is also a Silverstone, a TJ08B-E micro-ATX. Good construction, reasonably priced, quiet, and keeps all my parts cool. I'm happy with it. I did have to replace all the blue LEDs with red ones though. I'm not a fan of the super-bright blue LEDs that are all the rage these days.
I've heard that Corsair has pretty good power supplies. I'm running a SeaSonic X-650, but then I'm a SeaSonic fanboy (I put SeaSonic power supplies in my rack-mount servers) so feel free to disregard my opinion.
