Do you already have those components?
What is your budget?
What is the purpose of this build?

What's wrong with your current computer? That's actually a pretty high end rig.

There is nothing wrong with the current build i was gonna have 2 PC one amd and one intel. and i dont wanna spend anymore then 1500 bucks more!

So does that $1500 include a monitor/os/procesosor, psu, and motherboard?

-Thermaltake 3.0 Extreme outperforms the Corsair H100i by a bit.
-Added 4x4gb of RAM for quad channel RAM. Since you got the 4930k, I'm assuming that it'll be some kind of workstation that can utilize the 16gb of ram.
-250gb SSD for your daily programs and 2tb HDD for storage purposes. Note that the write on the EVO isn't very good so if you're going to be writing on the SSD a lot then you might want to consider spending the extra money for a 840 Pro.
-GTX 780 ti max out any game.
-NZXT Phantom is a big case that can easily fit all of these components with good cooling.
-Big high quality psu for future SLI.
