It's good. You might wanna get the reference cooler for the GTX 780 though, unless that waterblock supports the Zotac design. It'll be so annoying to RMA the card to find out it's not supported, because custom coolers might have a custom PCB.

 

Otherwise, it looks good!

Also I'd ditch the thermal paste and try and stretch for a better monitor.
