I am going to describe my new build and explain why I choose some parts and I need help with the monitor, gpu, and cpu cooling after I explain what I am doing.

Intel core I7-4930k (multi tasking and gaming(serious gaming)
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 (Reliable and quiet)
Asus Rampage IV Black Edition EATX LGA2011 ( Good overclocking ) I Like ROG
Corsair Vengeance PRO 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR -1866 Memory (quantity of 2 for Quad channel)
Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD
Western Digital Black Series 3TB 3.5 inch 7200RPM(
Cooler master HAF X ATX full tower
Seasonic X series 1250 PSU ( I got it for $270(NEW)) will SLI Later and overclock CPU and GPU
Lite-ON IHES312-98 Blue-RAY /DVD /CD Writer
Windows 8.1 Professional
PNY GTX 770 4gb OC2(1200mhz) I got this for $319 for my current system.

The Monitors I am looking at are the Asus Swift PG278Q(which is not out yet) and I am not happy about TN panels but this is supposed to be a true 8 bit, the FS2333 Ezio Floris (not happy with 23 inch) Ezio floris fg2421(also not happy with 23.5 inch)

I like the size, response time, and input lag on the Asus. (not sure about picture quality) but I game a lot with FPS, and RPG.
The Ezio monitors are not as fast or as large but advanced VA panel is better than TN and there are virtually no 27 inch IPS panels without performance issues at 1440p.

The GPU I already have in my Old setup is a GTX 770 PNY OC2 that I purchased cheap for my old system and I could SLI it with another one but I have Put some great hardware together and I feel should have a better single card rather then an sli but the 770 is only 90 days old.

the Noctua dh-14 se2011 is a proven leader and reliable but I was also looking at corsair H100i or swiftec H220. I saw a lot of comparison charts and the closed loop coolers are close to, or even underperform what the Noctua's performance is. Maybe a custom cooling solution later on if I stay with the Noctua.

Or do I wait for x99 from Intel?????????????????????

Noctua NH-D15 just came out, might give that a try.

They do sell quad channel ram kits, so you should get one of those rather then two kits. They are supposedly binned and matched before being put into kits.

You can SLI 2 GTX770 or GTX780 or GTX780Ti on a normal consumer grade CPU without performance loss. But if you want the LGA2011 for the ultimate platform I can't fault you. Broadwell is coming out soon for LGA1150 as an alternative.

But if you want to wait for DDR4, then you'll have to wait for Haswell-E. Not sure when Maxwell GPUs are now scheduled to be released. Sometime next year I assume, so not much cause to wait for that.

just checked out the DH-D15 and the site says.

The cooler is extending over the first PCI-E x16 slot, so please use the other available PCI-E slot(s) for your video card(s).
Do I have to use the fist x16 slot on rampage Extreme ROG black edition X79 mobo

I would definitely wait for x99 chipset for haswell-e if you are putting down serious $ into this x79 is pretty old by computer standarts and if you want something sooner for games i believe new 4790k will perform better in games as no game that i know of can utilize 6 cores and 4790k starts at 4 ghz and is made to be overclocked it should come out in a few weeks time

thanks for the link. the last time I checked noctua's site the z97 mobo's weren't there. cool! I will definitely wait Its just I was thinking of really waiting for the new x99 8 core. I know it needed for games. I dont think I will be able to wait till 2015 tho. I will probably give in to the 4790k. I would love to some reviews on it first also.

that is probably the best choice you can make im sure you wont regret it just come back here once the cpu comes out for some constructive build recommendations and criticisms.
