Brand new to building any sort of gaming pcs, along with Tom's hardware so the less hate to this the better.

The comp. will be used as a multi-tasking desktop, Heavy gaming, editing, recording... etc. The works.
as stated before I'm new so any help will be beloved and welcomed, any fixes to the build will be the best thing for me right now.

Link to the build. ($1,746)

Thanks to anyone who recommends any fixes for me!

Edit: Also need to know how many case fans, and if it matters how many.

it is a revision of your build, with better price/performance parts selection

8350 isnt that good to handle dual GPU, read here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fx-8350-core-i7-3770k-gaming-bottleneck,3407-5.html
i7 and i5 would be better
you dont need 32GB ram, 16GB is enough for heavy multitasking programs
---> add 240GB SSD
cm haf 912 case doesnt support corsair H100i, go for NZXT phantom. it is full tower so you have enough room for GTX 770 sli
beefy PSU, same quality as corsair and seasonic
cheaper brand for GPU, same quality as evga

I would say Almost Extreme PC but you can save on RAM Sticks 8GB RAM is more than enough.Check your Case 1stly to see how many in built fans exist already.I would say one intake,One Side,One Exhaust & one @ Top if possible will be good choice.Check your case supports 120mm/140mm or 200mm fans & Choose accordingly.
