So this is the build that I have finally decided on after months of picking through parts and reading reviews. I think I have a pretty beefy rig here but since I am fairly new to the whole computer building scene I figured it would be best to just ask you guys.
1. Will my 750w PSU be enough to crossfire the 7970's in the future or do I need a larger capacity
2. Is everything 100% compatible and will fit in case
3. Should I get extra case fans?
4. Does the i5 come with a CPU Cooler or do I have to buy one?
5. Will the graphics card handle all games maxed out at 60FPS?
6. Any parts that are low quality or have a bad reputation? Link alternate parts if so
7. Should I get one of the Hybrid SSD's (Hard drive that preforms like a SSD but with high capacity and cheaper) for 1TB or stick with the 3TB, they both cost the same.

8. Is it worth getting the GHz card over the normal? I'm not planning on overclocking either. Does it give a significant performance increase over the stock version?
9. How much of an improvement does it make to overclock the CPU from the default 3.4 to 4.5? Is it worth it, I've never tried overclocking and want to know how much that will bump up performance.
10. Should I get water cooling? What advantages and disadvantages do water cooling have and how much more does it allow you to overclock your parts. Also, does water cooling only hook up to the processor or do you put it on the GPU and RAM as well?
That's all the questions that I have currently. If you think I should change some parts in the rig, post a link of the new part and valid reasons why you think I should change it. Thanks.
