You don't need such a huge power supply, I wouldn't really be comfortable with a 650w but a good 750-850w would be perfect, no need to go above that. Also why that motherboard? You're only doing 2way SLI, so a maximus VI hero or a sabertooth would be more than enough. The rest looks good!

You don't need Windows 7 Pro, Home Premium is fine.

Your PSU is so overkill, you only need 650w

 

 

You can probably get away with a quality ~650w PSU.

A 650w isn't enough. He would need at least a 750w, especially if he plans to overclock.

Do you really need the Evo SSD, is the performance much greater than a 840 or 840 pro?

A 650w isn't enough. He would need at least a 750w, especially if he plans to overclock.

195w plus 195w plus 95w is 565w

This system takes 600-625w when OC:d  :)

No no no no, why everything must be overkill?

His system will draw max 625w, if you caculate correctly.

An ax760i would be enough for a fully overclocked system with a 780 sli and a custom cooling loop. The ax860i is overkill.

 

You might as well be getting a Water 2.0 Extreme, H220, or Kraken x60 for a build like this unless you want the looks of the H100i. They're all better than the H100i. 

Why the Maximus Extreme? Get a dedicated sound card like a Xonar.
