I have my builds so far, http://pcpartpicker.com/user/19andrewc/saved/FKZzK8 and http://pcpartpicker.com/user/19andrewc/saved/MyfhP6 . If you guys could go check out the better one(I'm not sure which one is) and edit that one for me so that's it's even better, that would be great. Budget is 3.2k and under. So Thanks Guys!

I would go back to the Swiftech H220 liquid cooler. It is noticeably better than the H100i.

The i5 4690k is great for gaming with 1 GPU. But if you plan to go Crossfire or SLI later, get the i7 4790k instead. i7 scales better with multiple GPUs.

256GB SSD is plenty for boot/OS with games installed on a 2nd 1-2 TB HDD.
