Hello I am looking to build a new high end ish computer and I've been looking at a site called elite gaming computers ( http://elitegamingcomputers.com/gaming-computers/ ). The pegasus. I'm wondering if this build is solid for the price and if there are specific components I could switch out for better performance, maybe a tad bit better ram? I eventually would like to add one more of the 780ti's later on but I would like to also do a full liquid cooling set up when I order all the parts, would this case be adequate for that and what liquid cooling kits would you recomend? Keep in mind this is strictly for hard core gaming, I don't mind a bit of future proofing if even needed. and budget is not an issue. Thank you.

P.S
Since im not extremly tech savy, If this build is no good for the price, and I didn't want to go with their $1250. I dont expect to he handheld on this but if possible what would be a complete ideal set up for gaming with a budget of $2000-4000 /w liquid cooling. I have a steady job so I can always add on more later

A bit better overall than their $1250 PC, but gives room for SLI in the future. Their $1250 setup is actually very well priced. Their $2000 one is completely overpriced for gaming.
