Hey guys,

I have never built a PC before, but I know about all the parts. Could someone please provide a step by step guide for me. Also, if I need any extra parts, (adapters for triple monitor, fans for radiator etc.) please tell me what I need. I will have a 5760x1080 triple monitor setup, and already have one monitor. I can't figure out fan configurations for the H105, I want the best possible cooling. The AF140 fan in the list will be put at the back of the case as exhaust.

Thanks in advance, I really don't know what to do, so please make the instructions very clear.

Solution
Your selected memory is way over your supported 1600mhz. To run that kit you would need a 500mhz oc to your cpu's memory bandwidth controller (cpu-nb)
The cpu can get the job done but i would recommend hyperthreading for your plans.
i7-4770k with 1866mhz ram. 200mhz oc on the cpu and cpu-nb or take the i5 to 4ghz but definitely 1866ram for either.
