Hello Everyone!

I know the forums and internet and general are stuffed with these posts, so I'll keep mine brief.
This is a computer for medium-heavy video editing and heavy gaming. This is a comprehensive list, meaning fans, extras, any peripherals I haven't purchased etc.There are a few things that may be changing though, as stated below.

A. The processor might be upgraded to a 4790K when it's available,

B. The case might be pushed back to an H440 to cut costs, and size. Don't worry, I love the H630 and the H440, but pcpartpicker isn't showing any H440s atm and I'm still worried about an optical drive. If anything I'll use my laptop or even just order or pop the case open when I need to use my spare one. (Or feed a cable through the watercooling grommets).

Anyway, let me know what you think, especially of the LED strips if anyone's used them.

The power supply is overkill even for 3x SLI but looks like you already bought that. The ram you have is 1.65v, Intel recommends 1.5v +/- 5%. I havent found any 2400 mhz 1.5v yet, there are a few 1.5v 2133 mhz sets though.

This is the fastest 1.5v I found that is not ridiculously expensive:

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($165.98 @ Newegg)

Also, you don't need any mass storage?

Edit: found 1 2400 mhz 1.5v CL 11 ram set

Thanks man, the PSU I have already purchased for a steal of $160 ($25 MIR). I'll take another look at the RAM. The speed wasn't a huge deal to me. but it seemed that it made very little difference in price, and my board supports it. I figured I'd buy the highest speed I could get and clock it down to whatever I needed in terms of CL and speed. Anyway, thanks for your input, and if you have any more suggestions on RAM just let me know.
