Build includes corsair 850W, is it enough for this build?
I will also be water cooling and assumed that would be another 50W for pump and fans:

Yes , should be enough. Just a tip , swap the 5900RPM HDD's for 7200RPM's ones. And you wanna put a custom or closed loop ?

Custom loop. 240 + 280 (case wont hold 360/480 and not modding case...)
Already have those HDD, not purchasing them.
Unless I should dump those into an older machine that isn't used and buy new 7200 ones?

Okay , So you might need not to change the PSU , unless you add anything more than a couple of loops.

Not adding anything else.
Loop will be RES/Pump (Bay) > CPU > RAD1 > GPU > GPU > RAD2 > RES

Toms just did a review about a 770 nividia card that was better in most ways then the 780 you picked, And yes exchange the 5900 hard drives to 7200 ones.

I read so many reviews and since I can afford it and it will last me a few years I just chose to go with the 780...
770 is great on a lower budget, and you could get 3 770s vs 2 780, but I got fed up and just got 2x780s... they will be a major upgrade from what I have and they fit in my budget so I am happy.

Yeah , two GTX 780's IMHO will be better than three 770's , and they will use less power + support your motherboard. And 3 way SLI will cost more money to cool since they need 3 waterblocks.

The 770 is a OCed GTX 680. And technically the GTX 780 will beat the crap out of a GTX 770 anyday. Also it is the best GPU considering the price/performance ratio.

Yeah, I was contemplating on the Titan, getting one and maybe a second one sometime next year...
But that is such a damn hassle especially if I need to mod my loop once built, so I decided just got with 2x780 and be happy with one of the top 3 options at this time.
