If this is going to be an "ultimate" gaming machine, you're totally doing it wrong. X79 is not worth the investment for a gaming rig as you won't get back the performance you're paying for. And games won't use more than 8GB of RAM so that's wasting money. There's also better case and PSU combinations you could go with.

If you have the budget this is what you should be getting:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($209.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme 99.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($85.98 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme6 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($143.49 @...

- Much better case and power supply
- Dual GTX 780TI and much better card than PNY
- i7-4930K is not necessary for gaming, dropped that for i5-4670K
- Super Flower quality PSU as opposed to that Flextronics unit
- One of the best closed liquid coolers on the market
- Ditched the unnecessary thermal compound and the Logitech tin cans
- I also noticed there was no RAM

Then you can add whatever monitor, keyboard and mouse you want.
