I like the build, especially considering it's very similar to what I have together. Not knowing what your bioinformatics demands will be on the PC, I can't say whether you'll need the 16GB of RAM or if 8GB would suffice. The only two things I would recommend is that you may want to spend a bit more and get a little bit more powerful GPU, especially if you ever have the urge to use the PC for gaming from time to time. Also, this may be overkill but have you looked at 27" monitors? I have to say that the extra visual real estate provided by the larger monitor is wonderful in my opinion.

Beyond that, solid components. It looks like you've done your research.
