Hi there.
I'm going to build a brand new PC from scratch. as said I have no limits for prices and only thing i'm seeking is quality to have a SuperPC!
i have already listed my chosen components. but i need your advise and comments on them so i may be able to change it with the best possible:

CPU: Intel Core i7 4960x Ivy Bridge
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage IV
Ram: Corsair vengeance Quad Channel 32 GB (8 x 4 GB)
HDD: Western Digital sata3 - 2TB
VGA: geforce 780 ti
Case: ---
Power Supply: Enermax Platimax 850w
Keyboard and mouse will be Razer
SSD: 2x 128 GB A-Data

just make sure to notice i want the best!

Q1:
which brand for memories is better? Corsair or Patriot or else?

Q2:
Is 780 ti the best Single-GPU in world?!

Q3:
which full tower case is the best? i formally chose X9-Predator but i'm told it's not made of high quality materials.

Q4:
name a nice (not best. just fine) Speaker.

Q5:
is 850w power supply enough for this system? or i should buy the 1500w one?

Q6:
which cooling (especialy liquid cooling) brand is better? coolermaster, green, thermaltake or etc.

Q7:
i'm gonna need a 23' or more nice monitor too!

Q8:
add whatever you think will make this better. :)

P.S: I can wait even for a few months if there are new better stuff on way to the market!

Thanks very much. @-}

For now get a socket 1150 Haswell. Ivy-Bridge-E is a dying platform because Haswell-E will be here soon and it will use a new socket 2011 and DDR4 ram. The current socket 2011 will not support Haswell-E.

thanks for 3,4,5,6!
but i read many articles about 780 ti beating titan!
they say titan's clock and memory size are greater but it's less efficient than 780 ti.
and nvidia already call 780 ti the best on the earth!

Maximum number for cores for Haswell is 4, Ivy Bridge-E for the consumer can go up to 6 cores. and 6+ cores for the workstation and server segment. As I've mentioned, if you want a system now get the socket 1150 Haswell, but if you can wait and want a HEDT (High-End DeskTop), then wait until Haswell-E arrives.
I'm also waiting for Haswell-E before planning to my main system which is a ancient Intel X48 socket 775.
Hawell-E will be called the Halo Platform

If you need one now, then here is a Haswell build with no budget limit.

I went with this Asus board because most socket 1150 boards, when running 2 video cards, it splits the PCIe lanes down to x8/x8. This board however has a can do 2 video cards at x16/x16.
The monitor is a 27" at 2560x1440, not 1920x1080.
Keyboard, mouse, and headphones are added into the build.

using Haswell will have a disadvantage in motherboard!
of course the great Rampage can't be swapped by Z87.
and i don't think i need 2 vgas and 3 monitors!
maybe i added a 2nd monitor later. but not now. it's not neccessary.

how about this one based on some of your advises?

Hi! If price is no object, I would change a couple of things in your list. I'd go with a Corsair AX1200i PSU and Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3. I see you case is empty, and again I'd go with Corsair with the 900d (if you have space for it. It is HUGE). As far as a hard drive, go with OCZ Technology Revo Drive 3 X2 Series 480 GB PCI Express 8 GB-s Slim - RVD3X2-FHPX4-480G. This PCI ssd is nearly 3 times faster than even the fastest SATA SSD (which would be the Samsung 840 Pro).

Dude, I would about give my right ball to build that rig. LOL Good luck!
