OP, you seem pretty set on getting that beast of a computer, and of course it's your money to spend as you please, but I have to add my voice to the people telling you that that is just complete overkill (especially for Starcraft 2, Civ 5 and Diablo 3, the first of which I can close to max out on a 3-year-old rig which wasn't even close to bleeding edge when I built it).
You will NEVER come close for at the very least 4 years to actually using all that horsepower. Even if you play with three monitors on super-high resolutions with all the bells and whistles turned on. Even if you also encode videos on the side.
I'd strongly suggest you go for one of the second-to-latest gen builds some users have posted so far, especially for a first build. You don't want to help propagate the myth that PC gaming costs an arm, a leg and the soul of your firstborn, would you? ;-)
