After reading a lot about most of the components in this build I have reached this point. If any drastic changes need to be made please let me know. I have the 16gb of ram and the i7 for pure future proofing because the amount of extra money I need to get them is not an issue at this point.
My main question is about the graphics card. Is a single 780 the way to go if I want to keep a budget close to this?
