Ok, so im ready to order in some days. This time i will go for a combination of red/black.

Currently i have these components in my mind:

Corsair AX 860 or AX760(Which of them?)
ASUS GeForce GTX 770 "DirectCU II OC"
ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO
Intel 4770k
Fractal Design Arc Midi R2(Anyone got something red/blackish case?)
2x Samsung 840 128GB
Corsair Vengeance Red(Should i go for G.skill?)
Red sleeved cables overall

heres what id get instead
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/129qa

-the 4770k is useless to you if you are only gaming
-a xfx 850w psu just as good for much much less cash
-the board is more than enough for what you are doing with it. the MVIH that you picked out is overkill
-you can get the z87x-ud4h instead of the ud3h if you want that red accent
-raid 0 is pointless. no benefits

id actually wait a while before buying;. the prices right now are jacked up like crazy

1) I use the computer to record gameplay, and i multitask alot
2) Im gonna go for one of the corsairs
3)What is a MVIH? Also the price on the one you linked got a similar price to the Asus Hero one in my country
4) I already got a Samsung SSD, therefore i want one more for more space.

Edit: Actually im aiming to maybe just go for the 4670K, and get a 780 instead of the 770!

recording gameplay doesnt necessarily require the extra threads.

there is no difference. all you do is just pay more.

a hard drive is what you need for more space, not a SSD. the SSD is only really meant for apps, OS, and a game or 2 that you play very often

MVIH= maximus VI hero. prices will settle down soon. expect at least a 50 dollar difference.

as for the 780, it tends to be the card to get for 1440p as a 770 will run 1080p fine

My bet is that the motherboard will not go down in price in my country(Norway) The prices here are awful, and arent sinking at all.

Im running dual screen monitors, im also doing 2-3 year cycle. Where i buy a new build every 2 years, and update some hardware in between the years. Do you still not think the 780 isnt a good option for me?
