So im planning on building 2 identical gaming pcs. One for my fiancé and one for myself so that we can play together. We will be gaming mostly at 1080p and will be playing mmos such as tera and wow. However I will play the occasional shooter and we both plan to play the division when it comes out. We also want to get a decent rig that will last a few years if possible. I talked her into letting me spend around 1200 per pc. The lower I can make it the better as I still need to throw some money into the monitors and keyboard/mouse. I plan to make the purchases here in about a month. I know prices can change by then but I want to get a good base idea about the build. This is what I have so far:

I know that the h100 is probably overkill but I like to OC the processor a decent amount. I also like to overclock the gpus as well. I understand that the 280x is the best overclocker but the for price point vs. performance its hard to beat atm. Let me know what you think.
On a side note: We were debating on getting a gaming laptop for around the same price. We do a decent bit of traveling and the laptops would be nice. From what I have seen with the new 860m will this pc completely trash the laptop?
