I am trying to put together my first build within the next month. I already have the GTX 770. I am just wanting to make sure this is a solid build. I am still unsure of the motherboard, but Microcenter has a CPU/Motherboard combo deal, saving an additional $30. Overall I am trying to stay with a red color scheme. Also I want to stick the the water cooling. I will not be needing a monitor or an OS. I plan to go SLI at some point, will the power supply be enough? Thank you for the help in advance.
