If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength
of the materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density. In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat ass.
GPU - Honestly the 280X is just plain good value at 1080p, it's really not lacking performance at all and obviously gets you closer to the 1k.
Motherboard - A few extra dollars but it has a better audio chipset, that's really my main reason. Next step up for $124 would be the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI (no messing around with rebate)
RAM - Well, it's just an excellent deal for 2133MHz CAS 9, $1.5 extra. From what I can tell the taller RAM is not an issue with the EVO when places in the outer slots.
HDD - Kept the same HDD but just wanted to ask/mention, do you actually need 2TB? A 1TB WD Blue 7200 RPM $55, would save you quite a bit.
Case - Same model I believe just black instead and cheaper but relying on a$30 rebate so obviously up to you. I would personally prefer a case like the NZXT Source 210 Elite ~$45 even if it is a little extra.
PSU - It's modular, the deal ends today though so you would have to be quick and it's less rebate than the Antec. If you're not in time for either deals the XFX TS 550W is always a nice solid choice.
ODD - Do you actually need a Blu-Ray drive? (if so keep it of course) otherwise a regular $15-20 DVD drive will do just fine or simply no DVD at all. You can install Windows from a USB flash drive.
(I need to mention it because someone else probably will, it's likely an MSDN key and could in theory be deactivated. i've bought from them myself with no issues)

Close to your build, with an i5k as tielknight above, different "taste" (red/black theme). Didn't include an o/s as you didn't mention anything about it either (or your build) and Notarget above covered it how you can get a cheap one if you want to.
If you plan on streaming go for the i7 if not as above i5. All those setups look good to me. Also just get the most cheap ram you can find any speed will be fine (aim for 16gb might be overkill right now with current consoles using 8gb so allot of ported games will start getting ram hungry with recommended 6-8gb)
