I have put together a build here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1zX7d

I am looking for some feed back on the CPU/Mobo/Ram combo specifically, and also wondering about thoughts on the power supply needed. I have a spare Corsair 750W at home and I'm thinking that's probably sufficient to power what I've put together here rather than spend more on the 860W.

Some additional details:
-System will be watercooled (CPU & GPU blocks, 1 pump)
-CPU & GPU will be overclocked (~4.5ghz for the CPU, not sure on GPU yet)
-Theme is "red and black" since the motherboard is red
-Plan to add a second GTX780 in a few months
-Using existing storage hard drives, 10krpm velociraptor & a 7200rpm 2TB drive

Thanks in advance!

Looks good just changed a few parts here, and also if you want to sli the 780 you will need a PSU over 1000W.

Curious on the Memory/storage changes, I had read the samsung 840 pro blew pretty much everything else out of the water. Any additional insight/reasoning on those changes?
