Looks like a nice build.

If I could comment, I'd say, take a couple of pictures of the whole open case

Also, could you add the overall cost of the buid

And list the full case details (some people might not know its a corsair carbide)

Um i haven't overclocked it yet but are planning to um the temps are decent but dang, the sound it not very good. The fan itself is very very weird its not a woosh its more of a washhhhhhhhhh and it just doesnt fit in and if you like that one I wouldn't really recommend it but some other choices for around $340 are: 

670 (blue): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127685

670 (reference): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127675

670 (660ti FTW shaped cooler): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500266

7950 (blue): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202003

7950 (reference): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202031

All of these cards are good overclockers (besides the reference but they are decent) and they all have some different aesthetics depending on your build and choice. They should all have decent acoustics and are very popular brands so coil wine will likely not be and issue. Of course you can also look at the games the cards come with and compare the value to you. Also if you wanted to stay with 660ti here is a good one that I know is great acoustics cooler and the temps are unbelievable great. But if you have any other questions about the card you can ask me about it. Also EVGA support is amazing.

Im sorry for not doing a full overall perspective I will try to get those up very soon sorry I didn't even think of it somehow haha. But I will also redo the specs and do the cost thanks for the support and suggestions. Means a lot!
