Pretty beast build, but it seems overkill. What are you going to be using it for?

I do independent game design, professional graphic design, and video editing.

Specs:
Intel i7-3960x OCed to 4.50GHz - absolute waste. 2011 cpus should only be used in the case that they need to support 3 or more GPUs
ASUS Rampage Formula IV Mobo - if you've got the money, I say, "why not?"
32GB 1600MHz RAM Samsung (4x8GB) - rendering is intensive; worth it for game design.
Dual AMD Sapphire 7970 GHz Edition 6GB GDDR5 - 7990...
Corsair AX1200i PSU - good
Corsair H100i Liquid CPU Cooling - A select few air coolers outperform the H100i and are very silent; not needed
Dual BlueRay Optical Drives - sure
512GB SSD
4TB RAID - nice!
CM Cosmos II Case
Windows 8 Pro - why no win 7 dual boot?
5x Blue LED Coolermaster 120mm Fans
overall, not worth it, but I can see you have plenty to spend; I give it an 83/100
