Are you dead set on AMD for the CPU? Also 32GB RAM is way overkill if you're just gaining. 16GB is plenty.

Yeah, I know someone with that CPU, I would honestly recommend going with one of Intels offerings, as I had the 8320 until about 15 days ago, when i got my 5820k, and by god it destroys it in everything... By the way the 9590 is basically a cherry picked overclocked 8320, also, 32gb of RAM is way too overkill... Overall that will cost you, about £485 for the CPU, Mobo and RAM which in my opinion is a waste...
How about something like this which for the extra £60, your going to get a lot more performance, and also it will run a lot cooler, I can guarantee that:
My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £552.47
(includes shipping: £10.50)

I should start by saying that I know nothing about Kraken's but I was browsing the store page for them after you mentioned them. The G10 doesn't specifically state that it's compatible with the X41 (it says X40) but more worryingly it doesn't list any graphics cards newer than the GTX 780 Ti. I does say it's compatible with the Corsair H110 (but not 105) in case that's what you were planning. That could just be the store page out of date but you might want to check before you hit BUY. 'cos it's damed irritating when stuff finally arrives and you find it won't fit....guess how I know this! :D
 
If you are just referencing the G10 and compatibility with cards after the GTX 780 Ti then I can confirm that is fine and probably a store page as out of date. I use the G10 on my 980 Ti.

To OP, this looks to be a nice build.
