I want to build a rig with Asus parts. I just had a look at Maximus VI Formula and RAIDR EXPRESS SSD Card and they look promising.
I also believe Asus has the best quality/cooling in GPU parts as well. I am thinking about a GTX 780 OC DCU2 and hoping it will be enough for gaming BF4 at ultra settings.

Note on chassis and cooling: I really want to have a super quiet rig. Name any cooling which doesn't take much space, is quiet and very cool. Also I want a very good/cool looking Case. both on the inside and outside. Maybe something with some LEDs.

Note on performance: I am sick of my current rig cause it takes like 10min to boots up to desktop... So I want some badass SSD and Ram performance.

Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: around $2000
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (27")
Location: Asia
Overclocking: Maybe, Depends if I get a very good and silent cooling on cpu and gpu
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: gaming at 1080p and casual working at 1440p

Sweet Jesus, going from 10 minute boots to this build is going to make you tear up...

The gtx 780 should be adequate to run bf4 at 60fps on ultra. That PCI SSD though... isn't that a little bit of overkill?
You could get a drive half the price that would seemingly run the same. If you are getting it for gaming, the difference between a high end ssd and mainstream ssd is relatively insignificant from what I have seen.

And if you want it super quiet while gaming, I would say water cooling is the only option. Also, "not taking up much space" and "quiet" is a difficult combination with heat sinks and fans.

well from a comparison vid I've watched on youtube, That pci sdd card which is working at 800mg/s of read/write speed, boots up the pc in 18seconds. So I don't think that's an overkill. Still I don't understand cause my toshiba laptop boots up in 10seconds.

Doesn't those water coolings have to be looked after? I can't keep an eye on them all the time and see if they leak or anything lol.

"not taking up much space" that's because I've got this Cooler Master V6GT fan on my cpu right now, which was supposed to be a gaming and overclocking fan. Not only it doesn't cool enough, it's so noisy and it's kinda broken. Complete Trash.

I really want you to help me go into the right direction... I don't want noise, heat, dust on the case and10min boot up time anymore...

Hd 7950 / gtx 760 is enough to play bf4 max. Settings 1080p 50-60+ fps.
Gtx 780 is too much

Cheaper motherboards performe the same as more expensive ones.

Silent cases:

Fractal define r4
Cooltek antiphon
Nanoxia deep silence 1/2
