i would avoid getting any AIO Liquid coolers from Corsair right now, i've had 2 H100i's that have failed on me (pump both times) and the exact same thing happened to 2 of my friends that bought H100i's around the same time i did, just a heads up, you may want to buy that in the next 6 months or so, wait for a new batch of them.

A long time?  how long?

 

By the time you buy it there will probably be new graphics cards and processors and cases

6GB 780 is a waste, things i would change are ;

-MSI Z79 GD65 Gaming

-Noctua NH D14

- Seasonic X series 1250 80+Gold

-Use Noctua's New Consumer Fans

- get a NZXT H440 or Phantom 240

-Get 2xGTX 780/Cheapest non reference 780Ti (3GB)

Plan 2-3 days before you buy. Deals happen and prices change frequently. As well as new products come out wich might change the build a whole lot. 

 

Anyway, if you would buy right now, this would be my suggestion. Went to 2011 because budget allowed it. 

As well, be carefull with PPP - when I saw that K95 keyboard in your list for £226 I went like..... WHAT? 

Found it for £127.
