Drop to 16GB ram, 64 is absurd unless you're rendering the next avatar.

Don't buy a 680, either wait a month for the 700 series or get 2 4GB 670s.

VA panel monitors are bad for gaming due to slow response times. For this budget you may as well look into 1440p monitors.

For that kind of money get a solid state drive (at least for windows, preferably 250GB and stick some applications on it.

Get a power supply from a decent brand, an 850w will be enough to run basically any dual card setup since they are using less and less power these days.

$4000 is a silly amount, spend $2000 and upgrade in a few years.

Drop down to 16GB RAM,

To each their own for everything; personally, I went with an AMD 8 core processor for my gaming/normal rig and went with dual Xeons for my workhorse. Even though I am a definately an Intel fan...sometimes their prices urk me. I am also more of a fan of the CoolerMaster HAF case due to the high airflow possibilities (I like the ability to have a larger fan size at lower RPMs to help cut down on fan noise). But honestly, looking at your build list...everything looks pretty good.

 

[edit] depending on what you get into (in the future) you can research Tesla cards. Although they are still expensive, if you get a lot out of them.
