I can't figure what kind of psu power I'll need. I still need to figure out what full tower case I want but this is pretty much what I'm gonna get.

I'm probably not gonna buy both hdds right away but I want enough power to be able to run at least 4 in the future. I might also add a corsair h series liquid cooling unit. I know on newegg they say I need at least a 500W psu for the video card but I'm not sure how much power i'll need for everything else.

I'll probably throw in an optical drive as well nothing special, As far as hard drives go. I got 2 1 TB drives right now and they're pretty much full So I figured I might get a 4 TB and a second one for backup, maybe setup raid 1.
 
Is this for a gaming purposes or just work casual uses?
If you do play games, i would suggest you increase your sending on the gpu to a GTX 770 or R9 280X or higher. So you can actually drive games to 144 fps else you will get tearing. Or change the monitor to a 60Hz monitor.

gaming isn't a priority for me, more of an afterthought. As long as it can run stuff on medium settings smoothly I'm fine with it, I think I'll update the video card cause I really like this monitor.
