This is a rather solid build for the price. A question though- Do you need 32GB of RAM? And why not go for a case that looks better than the Enforcer, and has a side intake for cooling (Really up to your taste, but I would take the NZXT Phantom 410, which is around the same price or cheaper than your case.) And do you need an LGA 2011 CPU? Really, if you are just going to be gaming on this, than the i7 3930K is overkill.
But I'll assume you need to render videos and do CPU intensive stuff.
