It seems as though it has everything you would want. Though to be honest, I think that if you were to drop the h100i for a hyper 212, and downsize the ssd to 120gb (assuming you already have a hard drive) you could end up with a system like this:

Which I would say would be a better system since you get a 770 as opposed to a 760.

(Also the people who posted before me posted some really good builds as well. Just because they don't have everything you would like does not  mean that they are not good builds.)
