Haha y'all brought up a lot of good points. So, I've pulled my head out of the clouds and made more of a realistic rig (for my actual financial situation). While the original post would've been sexy to actually build and play own I don't need THAT much power.
Dual Monitors can come later and the case choice was based solely on cosmetics. I really like the look of the HAF series which is why I went with that case vs a much more simplistic case. Either way I'm going to be satisfied and upgrading is easier then flat out building top of the line like I had originally intended.
Forgot to mention I'll be tweaking the card at some point to perform at 6970 level.

I would up your HDD to an SSD. The difference is unbelievable. If your just gonna run League and a few other games, a 128 would work and that's 200 dollars. 100% worth it IMO.
I was thinking of throwing in a SSD along with the HDD. Mainly for my OS, LoL, possibly DIII, Skyrim, etc.

Once you got used to working with two monitors you will never ever want to go back, believe me- it is just that good!
I REALLY REALLY like working with a dual monitor set up so I may end up picking up another monitor. It's just so hand to have an extra monitor.
The second one looks way better. You'll save a lot of money that way.

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

Yea, like I told one of my co-workers today $2500 didn't sound like much when I first put that build together and it actually sunk in and I was like oh **** no lol.
Case by itself makes no noice :D. Its either the coolers he installed or coolers that came with the case, or maybe any other cooler on graphics/power supply/processor,...

The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
