Transferring 2TB of data across the internet in one go might be an issue, though it'll be a lot easier if you're adding things over time rather than all at once up front.

Automatic fan control from the motherboard is (in my experience) a myth. Better to use a dedicated controller like the one you have. All you need to do is adjust them to get a sensible airflow that...

The i5 2500K is definitely the CPU to pick up for general purpose home machines right now. AMD may or may not be coming out with something better later, but for now it's Intel.
