Hey everyone, I am new to this site and I wanted to know if I choose the right parts, and I also have a few questions to ask...(BTW I will be gaming and video editing)

Questions:

1. I will be using the H100i CPU cooler until I can gather the money in the future to put together a custom water cooling system, but until then will a Corsair H100i but good enough to cool down a GTX 780 in 2 way SLI?

2. Will air flow be good enough to cool down a GTX 780 in 2 way SLI?

3. When I do decide to water cool my GPU's and CPU, am I able to remove the EVGA's aftermarket cover and add on the custom water blocks on a EVGA GTX 780 SC with ACX cooling?

My parts

ok 1st of all you don't need 32 gb of ram thats too much .
the pc build is an overkill very nice indeed I would suggest going with windows 8 if you don't mind the metro system * I use it and you get use to it easly* also it is said that Win 8 performs a bit better in gaming
removing the stock cooling from GFX is not easy you might end up damaging the Card.
Now for Air Cooling I always pick overrate cases ,, for example the one I use is thermaltake Chaser MK-1 full tower . its nice and its always blowing cool air untill now
also if you are not overclocking anything its not needed to go with water cooling on your cards. coz its mostly used for High overclocking

dunno if I left anything behind just sharing opinions

Ok thanks, I was interested in water cooling to keep the noise down, and Ill switch it out for 16GB, I perfer windows 7, I have used windows 8 before, and I am also using it on the PC i'm using atm too. With the case I choose, will the heat not be an issue if I use a lot of case fans? (The're Corsair 120mm AF Fans) I will put them in every case spot available. Will that be good?

The Corsair H100i is far noisier than the Noctua NH-D14 I suggested. Though the Noctua will be about four degrees hotter, it will be far, far quieter. It has some special cables to quiet the fan down to inaudibility.

32GB ram is a good idea. You cannot have too much ram when editing video.

The case I recommended has plenty of air flow for you can add eight fans. It is usually better to have several and add more as needed. I'd recommend for intakes, one in front, two on the side (cools video cards) For exhaust, one each in the back and top. Add more as needed but make sure you have more intake than exhaust fans, keeps the case dust free and the positive air pressure inside cools better with denser air.

You really don't need water cooling for the CPU and Video cards except for a hobby/fun.

I went with one HDD it is better than two. You can just partition it into two if wanted. If you were going to raid0 it, forget it. the SSD is plenty fast.

You may want to consider the newer SSD's that are up to 1TB at only $600 to $650. You can do all your video editing in them for fantastic speed.

A couple reviews on the power supply. As you can see, this V series from Cooler Master is top quality. Made by the same people as the top supply, Seasonic.

Yes, ASUS is the top motherboard company. The one I selected is great, your Deluxe is even better, but more expensive. Look at the features and decide which is most worth it to you.

Yes, but you will need to do one anyways. The Deluxe is a bit more fool proof it appears.

Motherboards have several BIOS updates, especially when they are new. You can go to the ASUS website and go to your motherboard of choice. From there you can download the owner's manual. It will have the BIOS update procedure. It is very similar with all motherboards. You can go to youtube and see a video of someone doing a BIOS update plus just do a search and find directions. You are right in that all the 2011 series motherboards need an update because of the new Intel chips.
