Rate my build, please

Hey, I'm going to buy a new gaming rig and I have a setup I'd like you pros to rate for me. I will mainly play modern games (Arma 3, Crysis 3, Bf3 and Bf4 in the future etc.) but I will also record and edit videos. I don't need OS or monitor (have one with 120 Hz) and case is included.

Case: CM Storm Trooper Gaming Big Tower
Power supply: XFX ProSeries Core Edition 650W PSU
Processor: AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor Socket-AM3+, 4.0Ghz, 125W, 8MB L2 + 8MB L3 Cache, 32nm, Black Edition
Water cooling: Corsair H60 Hydro Series
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
Memory: Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1866MHz 16GB
Graphics card: 2 x Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 3.0
SSD: Crucial m4 SSD 2.5" 256GB SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3.0), 500MB/260MB/s read/write, KPC
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda® 2TB SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 3.5"

Why I have 2 graphics cards is because the SLI is a lot cheaper through my dads job, so the SLI is 50% cheaper so I figured why not?

Well what do you think? All help appreciated, thanks.

I would go with the Intel i5 3570K instead of AMD for gaming

Agreed, though the 8350 isn't too bad..

Looks good, not a fan of those sabertooth boards myself, more of a gigabyte guy..

Just so you know 2 AMD cards is called Crossfire, Xfire (for short)

2 Nvivda Cards is called SLI (don't know the long name

)

LOL you see that's why I'm asking you. Thank you both (so embarrasing

)

So what is your final recommendation? Is it worth it or should I consider spending a bit more for ensured "quality"?
