You're spending way, way too much for that PSU + case combo.
You could easily run that rig on a 90$ Corsair TX750 with a bit of room to spare. I don't know how much each of the case/PSU cost seperately, but 680$ for a case and PSU is beyond ridiculous unless you're running 3-4 massively overclocked high end video cards. I probably wouldn't spend more than 200$ on a case. You could go up to 300$ for something fancy like the Corsair 800D if you're that kind of person.
I also have the feeling that you're overspending a bit on the motherboard. The Classified boards have a very sexy digital PWM, but definitely overkill for the normal user who isn't going for massive overclocks.
If I was in your place, I'd probably grab a cheaper eVGA E758 A1 or something from Asus or Gigabyte.
With the money you save in those 2 parts, you might be able to fit in faster video cards, like a GTX285 or 2.
You're going to need to grab some aftermarket cooling for your CPU if you intend to overclock. Preliminaries on the Thermalright Venomous X look good, but nobody has actually done a real review of it compared to the Prolimatech or the older Thermalright U-120E.
