Hi I am looking to build a new pc which would be able to handle games on ultra performance and also for video and photo editing purposes.

I am going with the devil's canyon, I don't know what other components I should get I was thinking of at least getting the asus sabertooth z97 Mark 2, gtx 780ti 3gb and 16gb ram. I am trying to keep a budget of $2000, Thanks for your help.

P.s peripherals are not needed.

I would stay away from the CX units from Corsair for this high end of a build. Go Antec, XFX, Seasonic, Corsair (TX, HX, AX)

I was thinking about a build which is similar to this, I only have two questions which I am afraid of since this is my first build, would there be a big difference between the normal gtx 780 ti and an OC 780 ti. Also i was thinking of adding liquid cooling to the cpu but I guess there is no need since im not overclocking right?

There is virtually no difference between a normal 780ti and one marketed as OC. It is all marketing. They will perform basically the same.

Liquid cooling is a HUGE waste for a non-overclocking CPU.

Let's say that they both perform the same, wouldn't a normal 780ti last longer than an OC one and produce less heat? Also thanks for your advice! ;)

No, they will be basically the same exact card. Same heat (cooler dependent) and same life.
