I'd be careful in relation to the new 840 drives. Not sure if i'd be happy with putting a brand new drive just out of development into my system - you don't really know how reliable it's going to be.
Samsung 830 prices have been going down recently, and it's still one of the most reliable drive on the market, whilst being one of the fastest in real life scenarios. If you can bag a cheap 830, i'd go for that instead.
Just my take on things.

Ya they won't be released for another week or so. I will grab a 830 when it comes time to buy all my stuff, which is in two weeks. Thanks everyone for the advice!

OK so here is what I will be getting.
CPU: Intel 3770k
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100
Motherboard: Asus Maximus Rampage Forumla
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB(2x8) 1600ghz
GPU: Asus GTX670 non-top
PSU: Corsair AX750
SSD: Samsung 830 256GB
CASE: Cool Master Storm Stryker
FANS: 4x Corsair SP120
~1750USD
What do you guys think of the case? I know its about personal reference, but do you guys recommend any other case that is white? I looked at the 600T but I think that will be small and it will get to crowded. Any suggestions?
I will be ordering everything at once because I don't like delaying anything. I will post on the build log once I start the build.

The Stryker's a great case, so no qualms there. The rig all looks good, although you'll be wanting to replace the stock H100 fans with some SP120s.

SP120 work better on the h100 than the AF120?

AF120s aren't for rads, dude. Rads create quite a bit of air resistance, and you need fans with high static pressure to force the air through the fins.
Ipso facto, you'll be needing the SP120s for the H100
AF120s are still good for normal case fans, though.
