What would you guys change from this list?

I was going for more of a stealth themed build with this one, hence the tendency towards black.

 

I'd swap the PSU for an AXI, HXI, or EVGA G2 or P2.

The Dark rock pro 3 might give it more of a stealth look, and performs similar to that AIO.

 

Or the cryorig R1.

Seagate is fine on higher capacity drives. They have higher quality control expectations.
