I'd drop the Sabertooth. Horribly overpriced for what it offers in comparison with other boards. Use the money saved to go for something like a 670 which will give you that bit more performance. Alternatives to the Sabertooth include the AsRock Extreme's and Asus P8Z77's as well as some of MSI's offerings. Also if you need to save a little more money, if you don't plan on writing heaps to the SSD you can go for a regular 840 which just has slower writes but costs something like $60 less.

What do you plan on doing with the Corsair AF's?

I'm trying to go with a black/red look with this. But Asus doesn't have much without being a lot. I will look at other ones and I will get the 840 regular then. and as far as the fans I'm going to mod the front for them and then for the back and bottom not sure yet
