Hello, I'm back here asking for suggestions and what not from you guys!
Appreciated the help I received a few months back here as well!
Sadly, the other plan a few months back didn't fall through and I've ended up with a laptop. Over these months, I felt it's time to go back to the desktop again.
I don't have an approximate purchase date as of yet, I'll be mainly purchasing from time to time but the main date of completion would be around the end of the year or November the earliest.
Budget Range: I don't have an ideal budget range, but mainly I'd say $1200? (Not including things like case fans, DVD drives, Windows OS and things like that.)
Currently I've come to these choices:
CPU: Haswell ideally, probably a i5-4670K
CPU Cooler: Can't decide whether to use a Corsair Liquid or CoolerMaster 212 EVO - I live in a basement room so it can get a bit dusty.
Motherboard: I'm drawn a blank here. I was thinking the MSI Z87-G45 or the ASUS Sabertooth. (I'm a bit drawn on looks as well as most of my peripherals/routers LED's are blue.)
Memory: I was planning to pick up 8GB of DDR3-1600 from either Corsair or G.Skill, but I was thinking of ADATA as well but I'm not sure of their quality as of yet.
Storage: 128GB SSD from Crucial or Samsung and using 1TB WD Black from another build as a data storage.
Video Card Drawn between a 660Ti or a 760, some friends are telling me to just stick with a 660Ti (Future SLi is possible.)
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (I wanted to keep the rig on my desk and I'm a bit limited in terms of space on it.)[I know this may conflict with the CPU Cooler situation and/or future SLi configurations, ideally I need a case to be less than 10" in width and at least under 22" in length.)
Power Supply: Either a SeaSonic or Corsair 750W Modular PSU. I choose 750 just in case of any future upgrades.
Fans: Noctura or Corsair fans 1 or 2 exhaust and 2 intakes in the front.
Also in addition to all this, I wanted to know if it was better to dual monitor with 2 21" monitors rather a single 23/24"?
Again open to suggestions and tweaks but mainly just stuck on that montherboard/cpu cooler with of course the case if it does pose a problem.

.... better said "loud sound" choicev .... after it reaches 60% CPU load, sound is unbearable.
