$4300 build - i7 3930 / GTX 680 - did I screw it up?

hello everybody-

 

i (actually) going build first editing pc, , once-over community see if i've made glaringly bad choices here.  plan on using machine edit dslr h.264 & avchd codecs using cs6 , after effects, happy if handle occasional higher-bandwidth footage, 2k or 4k resolution files red camera or alexa?

 

also opted not attempt huge monstrous raid array in build, @ least @ first, leeway go down path in few years if need to.

 

big questions still in mind input on:

 

1)  cooling.  can rely on stock fans come case or should plan on replacing them better ones?  what's best way decide cooling configuration use in box?  should plan on using things ram cooling or dedicated disc cooling?

 

2)  have few hundred bucks left in budget, if don't have spend i'd rather not.  if had $300 or left pump improvements build, how spend it?

 

huge in advance if think can poke holes in build before lay down cash!!

in general looks good. have minor remarks, however. boot disk way big , waste of money. go corsair neutron pro, kingston hyperx, plextor m5 pro or samsung 840 pro 256 gb capacity or 128 gb. if intention use red 4k or alexa material substantial, consider 4 gb version of gtx 680. 1200w corsair ax gold label may better choice silverstone 1500w silver label , save money. instead of arctic mx2 cooling paste, consider coollaboratory liquid ultra. sabertooth mobo has fw400 on-board. why separate firewire card? ups way underpowered. better @ apc ups of around 2200 va.
