First, don't bother planning to go for 6970 CFX in two years. It won't be worth it at that point. Second, let's destroy some choices! :awe:

- Case: Good
- PSU: The Corsair HX line is really pricey and you don't need anything like 650W. Take a look at the Corsair 500CX and the Antec HCG 520.
- Mobo: Overkill, take a look at the ASRock Pro3 and Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H
- HSF: Good
- RAM: Get DDR3 1333 if it is less
- GPU: Good
- HDD : Fine since it will be storage
- SSD : Good
- Peripherals: All good.

Honestly, you're build is pretty nice as is, only needed a few minor tweaks.
