Is this a good upper middle/high end build?

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/F34s8KCan y'all tell me if this build is well thought out with no bottlenecks the reason I have 2hdd is because I'm re useing my old ones because they have all my games installed on them (I am useing the ssd for a fresh install of Windows) also the psu is overkill. (It was also from my last build) I plan on gameing at 1080p and 1440p (tell me if the link doesn't work) 

-Thanks.

Should work fine. Great card (own one myself), great CPU. You shouldn't see any noticeable bottlenecking with that build.

i7 is overkill for most games,

H60 is shit, get a small air cooler instead, 

PSU, well... you have it already so...

Fans are not needed imho.

 

I'd get an i5 and upgrade to a 1080.

1.I would highly recommended a 240-250gb 

 

2.Even if you have the Rosewill Hive i would HIGHLY recommend selling it as it is SHIT SHIT SHIT and SHIIIIIIIIT of a PSU

 

3.The H60 sucks ass and is loud af, get a Noctua NH-D14/15, Cryorig R1/H7

I'd get an i5 and upgrade to a 1080.

Depending on the game in 1080p a i5 will even bottleneck a 1070

 

At 1080p/1440p it will also bottleneck a GTX 1080

 

Not to mention the stutter, frame drops with the i5

I think an i5 would start to limit a 1080 but that's just my opinion

 

dont get that CPU cooler, instead go for something like an NH-D15 or a 240mm radiator (h100i v2)

I do plan on upgradeing the psu in the near future to get like an 80+ gold semi modular I just am short on money right now lol... I bought it because it was Cheeper for an 850 and I was Cross fireing 2 cards on an amd cpu, so it was not very power efficient. As for the cpu cooler I mainly want a water cooler because it looks nice  compared to a bulky air cooler, but I also plan on getting a better fan on the h60 like a noctua or should I get the h100i and have 2  loud fans that come with it.
