Building a $2000-$2500 Gaming/Movies/Light Editing PC.
I work with Computers and Electronics so I can order all the
Components at cost so I'm not worried about price.
I Am Deciding on a Haswell Z87
I could use some help with components to build this masterpiece.
Looking to start off with my 27" Monitor and my 55" TV connected.
With the possibility of hooking up two more monitors
and with haswell being the new thing for gaming Im stuck on
what to go with.

I Have a monster Thermaltake Chaser MK1 Shell
With a WD Green 3TB Hard drive
I would like to fill this up with whatever I can to fit my needs.
Let me know if this fits in the "Bottleneck" area
I would like to get the best results for perfomance and graphics

MOBO- Z87- Gigabyte Z87X UD3H or Maximus Hero VI
(I read the UD3H got slightly better results then the HERO)

CPU- i7 4770k

GPU- Nvidia GTX 770 2GB x2 SLI or Nvidia GTX 780 3GB and SLI In the future
(Gigabyte or EVGA I can't Decide)
(not sure if this is a good one - EVGA GTX770 SPLock 2GB whatever SPLock is)

PSU- ***What do you Recommend I am wanting no more than a 1000W?***
(I was thinking Corsair or Antec)

SSD- Samsung 840 Pro 256GB

RAM- HyperX BLU DDR3 16gb 2x8 or Corsair Vengence 16GB 2x8

Cooling- Corsair H100i or Swifttech h220
(I do like the h220 because its quieter and a nicer cooler)

Optical- LG 24x Dvd Burner and LG 14x Blu Ray Burner
(yes i want two opticals)

Let me know what you would do different
any feedback would be nice

Thank you

Thanks for your opinion so far but
I wont be going with the Noctua cooler, to big, bulky and ugly
I also do not want to go with the MSI motherboard
The options I am looking for are in my thread post
I do appreciate your opinions
860W power supply would be enough for lets say x2 gtx 780 sli, 3 monitors and a 55" tv?
also what is the SPLock nvidia gtx 770 2Gb?

i suggest you an asus maximus vi hero because of his Extreme Engine Digi+ III for a good stability and nice sound built in
and his excellent UEFI BIOS

and i suggest you a gtx 780 3GB thats will be perfect for gaming and editing and for his new GK110 architecture
