You can get cheaper mobo.
Gigabyte X-D3H or UD3H is best quality with good price.

Better case?

Better buy PSU.

I think 800w is enough.

If like to save some then this is good SSD.

Not much slowe SSD and really good reliability.
Look review.

If you look best GTX 780 then it is Zotac.

But with this you really do need +1Kw psu if you plan...

Do not get a Green HDD. Blue isn't much more and very worth it.
Might want to get 2x8GB instead. Graphic work (non gaming) wants more RAM.
Save money and get a quieter, yet same performer, Noctua NH-D14. The H100i fans are loud. Most people replace them with 2x$15 fans.
Get a mechanical keyboard and better mouse. You will want this for gaming. Once you go mechanical you'll never go back.

Thank you all for the advice.. the problem is that most of the components from companies like rosewill and phantek are not available in my place...may be i will try to get them through amazon.

@AxlFone : Why do you think Zotac is the best for GTX 780? I was going to order an Asus Card

Because it OC really well. It do have 2+3 Year warranty.
And warranty works if you want to chance cooler. So you can do custom water loop build and still keep warranty.

Asus is good card. This is just bit better.

Looks good. If you want save on some parts then look G.skill memory. It can be cheaper. And better reliability.
Two HDD's? Buy one seagate barracuda. It is cheaper and better, Silent fast and reliability is same as the WD do have.

SSD buy samsung pro or maybe sandisk ultra plus. 256GB is good choice.

Rosewill psu is maybe cheaper and reliability and good psu.Enouga power to SLI 2 780Ti.

I will be saving lots of high quality images like 200MB+ , so i need big space for that, thats why 2 HDDs. I plan to run windows and Photoshop on SSD thats why i went from 256 gig to 120 ..saves me 10k. Rosewill products are unavailable in my country, so i chose Corsair.

Also I have a question, is AX860i PSU enough ? i plan to do a 2 way 780ti sli by Q1 next year.
