I like it a lot. I think all of your component selections are high quality and desirable. The Intel SSDs are high dollar for the performance and capacity they offer but they're all I'm going to buy for the foreseeable future.
Love the case.

25 is a lot of disks, what are the detailed specs on the enclosure?
With that many drives and an emphasis on redundancy you will absolutely want to implement a controller that supports hot-spares and allocate ~2-4 drives to this role. I also suggest RAID 50.
8GB may be all a system needs but what if I want to virtualize seven adequate ram systems? Then I am both only using the amount of RAM deemed necessary AND justifying 64GB at the same time.
See if you can find one of the P45 DDR3 boards like the Asus P5Q3

This board will help extend the life of your Q9550 by pairing it up with modern low-cost DDR3. You should obtain this board and two 4GB sticks of DDR3.
The Q9550 is still...
My Gigabyte LGA775 motherboard would do this too and I was using the fan at full power in the bios. It started to spin for a split second at power up, then stopped, then 10 seconds later spun at full speed then on. I assumed it was a Gigabyte thing because I've never had one before or after.
I've used XFX for the last few cards I've had and so has my brother.
He had two fan failures and was reasonably happy with both RMA processes. For the fan issue they just sent him a full replacement heatsink with new fan attached. Did not need the broken one returned.
I had an XFX 9800GT that...
I have a 3930K also and the fastest times in IBT are achieved by specifying six threads.
An additional performance gain is also obtained by specifying the affinity of the benchmark process via task manager to use every other logical core.
Results:
i7-3930K @ 4.2GHz (100x42) 1.28 vcore

In citing 5760x1200 as the display resolution does that mean you're going to be spanning the desktop across all monitors? Start menu on display 1, tray icons on display 3 or Display 2 primary, displays 1+3 extended desktop? Will your display utilization differ for gaming?
I have zero...
It's possible and normal for both CPUs to access RAM in any node, but with less performance than accessing memory within the CPU's home NUMA node. Non-Uniform Memory Acess is named to describe this.
The x79 based LGA2011 systems are only one NUMA node which is kind of funny since that in-turn...
100% valid, however, my justification for going with the Intel "P2" segment SB-E and 32GB of ram occurred instantaneously upon discovering this information at TechEd 2012:
