Hello everyone!

Newcomer here, I'd like to build my own PC from scratch, in a "60% Gaming / 30% Image processing / 10% other" configuration. I'd also want to overclock everything possible (later).

Here's my list, it would be really helpful for experts like you to give me advices before buying. Is everything okay?

Motherboard:
ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

PSU:
CORSAIR CXM series CX750M 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Core:
Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K

Cooler System:
Noctua NH-U12P SE2 120mm SSO CPU Cooler

RAM:
G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C10D-16GAB
(someone advices me to buy this one instead, but I really don't know: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL)

Graphic Card:
ZOTAC AMP! ZT-70203-10P GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI

HD1:
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s TLC Internal SSD

HD2:
Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s

It lacks the computer case (CoolerMaster 690 Advanced II?), keyboard, mouse and DVD reader/writer, but I'll check that later.

And Windows 8.1 because I won't be able to dodge it all my life.

Thanks a lot!
