Budget: $2000 Max

So that's what I came up with for a custom rig. Was wondering if there is any where I can save money but not cut performance.
It's mainly going to be used for Gaming; BF 4, BF 3, Skyrim, Titanfall when it's released :) I do plan to sli in the future along with OCing, at that point I will do a custom liquid setup so the case needs to be able to fit a custom liquid setup.
Would it be better to trade out the hyper evo for a closed loop cpu cooler?

Any and all help will greater be appreciated.

-Cheaper RAM. Slightly faster.
-Faster SSD. The EVO has great speeds for the price.
-2gb version of the 770. There's no need for the 4gb vram unless you plan to go triple monitors/1440p/1600p.
-Much better case for a custom water cooling.
-Dropped all of the fans. Don't buy fans until you know you want/need them, which is obviously after you get all of your build set up.
-Cheaper psu. The PCP&C MK III is a great series of gpu using a Seasonic OEM.
-Dropped the blu-ray driver. If you need it, you can add it back.
-IPS monitor at a cheaper price.

The GTX 770 can max out any game on 1080p.
The Hyper 212 EVO is a great place holder while you get the money for your custom water loop and learn how to overclock (if you don't already know how to). You can toy around with the settings a bit and familiarize yourself with the BIOs. Once you feel comfortable with overclocking to the max, get your custom water loop set up and overclock that bad boy.
