what mobo are you getting?

i think that aerocool case may be a bit small for those components. I used to have one with just the one GPU and not much room to cable everything correctly.

hmmmmmmmmm seems good.

Out of the cases would look at the HAF 922 (Advanced if you can get it) as in my opinion the aerocool is a bitt small and the antecs are a bitch to clean.

But looking good. What is the budget ??

In my experience they are very big and bitch to take apart. They have many screws and air filters that are just a nightmare to access (just in my experience). I attempted it the first few times even with a air gun and thought nah **** this not worth it.

HAF 922 Advanced is the case I have and has plenty of room and airflow very easy to take apart to. But I am sure people will tell you otherwise. It's also sexy as ****.

Looks to be pretty decent at the moment.

The only thing I would change is the power supply to this:
www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_995&products_id=15350

And a H80 cooler because you may have trouble mounting the H100, and tbh performance wise compared to the H80 it's not a big difference. So save some money.

www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23_845&products_id=17919

Also check this case out:
www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_30_394&products_id=12171

I noticed you don't have a motherboard.

Try fit this into your budget:

Go with the one I mentioned, I've never heard of that site and I wouldn't buy parts from different stores. Better off buying it all from one store (PCCG) they're reliable.

And yes it does, a good quality one will deliver good wattage to your components, if you cheap out on a power supply you will have problems and over time you could risk your hardware from blowing up. xD

Seagate Barracuda 1TB's go for about $109 on PCCG, it's not that expensive.

Also try fit a SSD into your budget, it will greatly improve performance of applications you have installed on it. Faster loading times/ boot times all that good stuff.

www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_902_1006&products_id=17369

Corsair make some decent SSD's and you should be pretty satisfied with the results.
