Solution
My god! Man what it is with 4 780 Tis'. Don't go for this. TOTAL OVERKILL. With this quad SLI you will be needing near about 1300W+ PSU.

Though you could have sticked with two 780 Tis where 850W PSU would be sufficient for your requirement.

You actually don't need VGA cooler (unless you are using hydro series graphics cards)

You don't need RAM cooler. It is a glitch and nothing by Corsair. I'm using 32GB kit of Corsair Dominator Platinum.

Ensure that you have high air flow inside the chassis.

Now for you query of storage config:

You can use any combination of SSD with HDD. The only limitation is the no of SATA ports on mobo. It would be nice to have SSD+2 HDD. You can have 2 SSD + 2 HDD as well. No issue at all.

You should go for AX 1200i as it is tier 1 brand and there should not be second thoughts about it.
