Hello. :)
After taking so much advice i have finished creating this list of hardware that i intend on buying, however I have one final task hopefully.Are all the components in this build compatible with each-other? Are there any ways i can save money without changing the specs?
Bare In Mind:
>I like the water cooling, but a different product is fine.

>I intend on overclocking as much as possible, what is possible and how much better specs can i get.

>I already have speakers and a Keyboard.

>I intend on hosting servers for a few friends, will this work?(Does the 16gb Ram Help?)

> I DO NOT want to spend anymore than this, I wont be able to afford games even with PC's amazing prices if I do ;)!

CPU Cooler - The H100i will keep temps in check, but there are better options in the "high end" range.
MB - No reason not to go with a Z97 board.
MEM - 16GB for gaming is way overkill. You have open slots if you need to add more later.
SSD - The M500 will perform the same and saves you a little bit on the budget. Nothing wrong with the EVO though...
GPU - The MSI is more quiet.
CASE - Fine, but expensive. The NZXT in the build below has great airflow and accommodates water cooling.
PSU - If you want to keep the option open for adding a second GTX 780ti, you will need more than that XFX 850w. For a single 780ti that is a fine choice.
OPTICAL - Don't forget one...
FAN CONTROLLER - Not needed.
Monitors - Changed to 24" displays with...

Managed to save you quite a bit of money and no performance will be lost. Also, the CPU cooler is quieter than the H100i and the motherboard is excellent for overclocking.

The 16 GB RAM isn't entirely necessary, but I've left it in there anyway. It's up to you. If you think you'll end up upgrading at some point anyway, just grab this kit now.

On the website you can see that it says "Parts Are Compatible: No issues/incompatibilities found." which means everything is compatible (duh) :p

Altho this is just a personal preference and I don't know how you intend on hosting the servers but if you want to have the systen on 24/7, then I would prefer a quick system so I would change the Case to the Fractal Design Define R4. but again thats just my personal preference. I think this will be good!
