Why do you have an optical drive? Do you actually need one?

Other than that it looks pretty solid. Hope you don't plan on running those SSD's in RAID if you're putting important stuff on them ;)

No graphics card?

No GPU? Also, I believe that the PSU is kind of an overkill, but input that into PCPP and check the compatibility warnings etc.
