Do you think it is necessary to use a 780ti for one monitor? Just asking. I am hearing that the large difference in price is not worth it. I am glad to get your recommendations on the 2133 ram. Regarding the H100i, I really had thought about going with that first but because I am going with this huge case for cooling, why not utilize the space for maybe a 360 or even a 480? The other issue is that the lengths from the motherboard to the top or other access area may be too long and I wasn't sure if it was okay to lengthen the H100 piping to get there. Regarding the power supply; The list you have provided shows mine as the highest tier. Am I missing something?

A 780Ti would match well with a 1440p monitor eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236294

A 780 will run a 1080p as well but won't get near the fps of a 780Ti on a 1440p monitor.

I've seen no cases where h100 hoses aren't long enough. The h100 website should list compatible cases.

PC Power and Cooling Silencer series are as good as AX1200. You can use them too. Corsair AX more common.

The link says "It's a DOWNGRADE to go from a GTX780Ti 3GB to a GTX780 6GB.".

Some people overestimate what more vram will do.
See http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Video-Card-Performance-2GB-vs-4GB-Memory-154/

I think the 780Ti is the best choice.
