For the last couple of days I have been creating a list of comments for my next build. I would like to know if anything needs to be changed, is something overkill, not compatible, or is there a bottleneck?

Also, you may notice there is no case. This is because I already have a full atx Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 case.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yeah if you want future proof get single 780ti and 850W PSU would be sufficient to power two 780ti's in SLI

You also can wait a bit, Z97 motherboards and new "Devil's Canyon" and "Haswell Refresh" CPU's should come in one month or so.

I would change micro-ATX "Gene" motherboard to ATX "Hero" motherboard (I think micro-ATX won't look good in full tower case), change RAM to "Trident X" which is better and also change overkill PSU to Seasonic X-850W other thing are decent :)

P.S. I think you'll need a CPU cooler :D

Wouldn't it be better to keep the more powerful power supply, in case I want to do SLI in the future? Isn't it also cheaper?

Seasonic X-850 is much better than EVGA PSU and 850W plenty for SLI and OC'ing.

While I agree that two 770's in SLI will be dominate over the 780ti, I wanted to have room to upgrade in the future, say two 780ti's. So for me it's more of personal preference as I would definitely like expandability in the future.
