I am trying to build a higher-end graphics/3D animation/editing computer, and I wanted help verifying my build components.

Components:

PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 850W Modular Power Supply
Corsair Carbide Series 500R ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
ASUS P9X79 PRO LGA 2011 Intel X79 ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler
Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy Bridge-E 3.4GHz LGA 2011 130W Six-Core
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm Fan
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III SSD
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 - x4
WD SE 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Link to build:

I'm building with the idea of upgrading in the future:
Second Graphics Card
Additional 32GB RAM

I don't plan on Over-Clocking, and I hope to run windows 7 unless I have trouble buying the OS.

Although I have tried to answer these questions myself,
Is the power supply correct for the build and suggested upgrades?
Am I missing any components?
Will I need additional cooling methods?

Thank you for the help!

For editing, that graphics card seems a little overkill, you might want to bump up the ram though. And that power supply will work fine, but if you want to run 2 780's I would suggest a 1000 watt.

Thank you for the reply Computerchap.
And I used the term "graphics/editing computer" as a general example, but I will be using GPU heavy 3D animation applications as well.

I'll definitely update with the advised Power supply and RAM,
Thanks!

I hadn't heard of the AMD R9 290 before.
After doing some research, the price drop is appealing especially with the tech specs, but it appears that the R9 290 has some cooling issues when it ramps up. I'll have to keep an eye on this though,
Thanks
