I have decided on the parts of my very first PC build. I will eventually be overclocking the CPU and GPUs, and would like to already have a general idea of what LCS and components I will need. I have read several forums and guides, but there are so many options out there I figured I just needed someone to look at what I have and guide me from there. Since this is my first ever build I welcome all feedback on it as well.

My soon to be RIg....

skip the h100i and go for a 240mm+360mm rad xspc rx setup with d5 pumps. make sure you get the evga 780 classified as it is by far the best for overclocking. if you block both 780's you can use a skynet custom bios and classified voltage tool to get 1.35v to the core which will afford you 1.5ghz+ core speeds with the 360 rad and stay well under 80c. the 6 core intel can easily reach 5.0ghz on the rx240 rad and stay under 80c. best of all you can make it quiet, virtually silent if you would like.

find a good case that will support multiple large radiators. you will need at least a decent thick style 240mm rad to keep the intel cool, but two 780s are going to need all of a single 360mm rad.

its all going to cost you, but the water...

Liquid cooling for your CPU or GPU?

its all going to cost you, but the water cooling parts will last you forever if you take care of them, basic cleaning/flushing and changing out cheap tubes every now and then.

Do you have any suggestions for cases? Aesthetically pleasing would be nice, but not necessary, I just want the correct setup.
