I won't be SLI-ing. I will only have one GTX 780.

I'll be playing on 1920x1080--normally I play in a 1600x900 window (less constraint on eyes). I am already above my $1300 budget, but I felt like the next-gen stuff was a must.

The best aftermarket cpu cooler in that price range is the cooler master hyper 212 evo and the cooler master v6.I have used many different aftermarket cpu coolers at one time or another. When i use to work at a computer store. I test alot of aftermarket cpu coolers and those were the best in the fifty dollars or less price range. Now if you want to up you're budget a little bit.I would recommend the NH-D14 or Phanteks PH-TC14PE.

IMO this sub 1200$ setup is good for all your needs. Well-themed and well-ventilated. No need for a 780 since it's only 10% more powerful than a 770 and you only play at 1080p :

All LGA1155 coolers are compatible with LGA1150 motherboards, additionally. Since the 2 sockets have same CPU cooler mounting holes.

Thanks, but can you tell me why the motherboard weak? I won't have SLI'd cards as many games don't support it, and it is more expensive.

The board you picked is weak because it can't handle overclocking well, and that's it.
