I plan on getting the 4770k i7, starting with 16gbs ram, and running a Samsung EVO 840 250gb SSD with 2 more SSDs, and about 5 to 8 or so mechanical hard drives. I think, at most ill be doing 2 video cards in SLI. I was looking at the ASUS Ramage black but that may be too overkill?

My scheme is going to hopefully be black white and green with water cooling... All assistance is appreciated! :)

Also... Is the Corsair Dominator memory even worth it?

It is manly for gaming, but I would be running virtual machines aswell, along with hosting servers for games, coding, some photoshop and video editing.

I have a couple of drives for my installed games, a seperate drive for my software and a copuple other drives for videos, documents, and photos, and i managed to get a couple of extra ssds for the games i play the most, one for Windows 8, one for windows 7 (since windows 8 doesnt like my wifi adapter for bf4 lag), and i have an ssd for bf4 its already in my system so i plan on using it.

Here's a link for a build I made you keep your build 'green'.. Please bear in mind I recommend anyone and everyone to adjust it. It's a 'rough draft' forgetting color scheme & being more economican it'd be easier to get 1 high capacity SSD or even going with some like an Extreme Hero board, etc.(You can get the same performance for about $1000 less, this isn't the final build, I know that..):
