You have a very well thought out rig, and there is noting in that set up that I would change.

Looks to be a nice build. Unless you are planning to go SLI down the road you could downgrade the psu to save some money if you wanted to. Stick with windows 7 over windows 8

Everything works well together. As Karma said, unless you're going 3 way sli a 1200w PSU is way overkill, I would recommend to get a 1000-1050 one.
