So I really need to start saving up for a gaming PC that I want to build. These are the specs and I wanted to know if you guys think you think I should switch any parts out or any recommendations? I think these are good specs, but I'd like to know what you guys think.

I don't think that windows 7 ultimate is worth it, but I'm no expert really. Home premium should be good enough.

It's actually a pretty good setup (especially with your SLI graphics card). As for your OS i can't say.. since i do use Ultimate, but that's the only version i have used of Windows 7 so i can't say if it's better or worse than other versions. 

Not sure why you want to spend so much on the motherboard. The ASUS Maximus 7 Hero works and looks just as cool, but is almost $100 cheaper.

Yeah what ninja said, dont go for such a expensive mobo. There are many better one out there that look nice with higher build quality. Look at Asus or Asrock. MSI is eh eh on quality so go for those 2 brands. Also I dont suggest you get 2x770's and grab a 970/980 instead depending on your budget. For CPU cooler, get the 212 EVO instead. HDD and SSD, i would recommend getting a different HDD as 5400RPM is pretty slow. Grab a Seagate ST2000DM001 instead (2TB). As for OS, waste of money imo for ultimate but your choice. Other then that, solid build!
