Hello, thank you for coming and answering my thread! :) 

I am building a PC and am about to order the parts. I am getting on this website to ask if I need anything else at all for this build. This is the very first time I have built a PC and am making sure I will have all the parts I need to do so. I was wondering if I need a network card, a sound card, or anything like that. Thanks so much!

P.S. I know I don't have an optical drive so I was wondering if you could choose one that would be compatible to upload Windows 7 to the PC. I would like it to be blu-ray but if you can't choose a blu-ray and stay under 2k please just choose one that will keep my budget under 2k.

What do you plan to do with your pc? Gaming only, Work, Video editing?
Note if you choose H440, there are no 5.25 bay so you don;t have any option for an optical or blueray drive anyway.

A good list of parts.

I have not used bluray, no help there.

Buy yourself a #2 magnetic tip Phillips head screwdriver about 4 or 6" long for assembly.

For a first time builder, I would avoid liquid cooling.
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua NH-D14 or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"
Buy a noctua or Phanteks air cooler with a 140mm fan instead.

Would a cooler master haf 932 advanced do the trick as far as fitting all the parts - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/PizzaSlayer13/saved/4zeJ most recent part list :) 

Also the motherboard will support 2-way sli correct?


Parts will fit... yes.
Motherboard is capable of 2 way sli... yes.
But... 750w may not be sufficient for sli gtx780ti.

If you will be using triple monitors for gaming, or are planning on a 4k monitor, then sli will be good.
Otherwise, on a single monitor, the GTX780ti is as good as it gets.
Any future upgrade in a year or more out should be handled by a next gen single graphics card that will not need more than your 750w psu.

With the impending release of Z97 based motherboards, in a week or two, I might wait for one.
Newegg already has some listed.
Also, the devil's canyon i7-4790K is due in June. That is likely to make one regret buying a 4670K early.
