Hi, everyone. I have finally decided to build by third gaming computer, and this time, I'm going full vigilante. I have NO idea about cases, and even more importantly, COOLING.

Could you please recommend me a case for the following components? Could you also please tell me how I can sufficiently cool everything?

SLI GTX 780 Ti
i7 4790k
Corsair 16GB 2400MHz
1TB HDD 7200 RPM
120GB SSD
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI LGA 1150 Z97
EVGA SuperNOVA 1000G2 1000W 80Plus Gold Power Supply

Thank you all very much! I know it's a lot, but I simply want a case that will be able to fit all of it in nicely, and I need advice on how I can even possibly cool this without using water cooling.

The fractal design cases are pretty legendary - the reviews speak for themselves

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractal-Design-Define-R4-Case/dp/B008NFWNFO/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-2&keywords=atx+case

Cooling is a lot of fun. Make sure you understand what size fans your case takes and how many places you place a fan within the case 3-4 fans should do the trick.

Then start googling positive and negative pressure cooling. Buy quality fans with high airflow. Massive rule of thumb = put intake (cool air) fans down low in the case and exhaust (warm air) near the top back and top of the case!

Thank you all for your feedback. I am about to make the big purchase. Can someone please tell me if I'm making some HUGE mistake?

Are there any glaring errors in my product list? Will it all fit? Do I need to purchase additional fans? I decided to go with Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

How many displays are you gonna run with two gtx 780ti in sli???
Don't you think its an overkill for jst a personal rig!
The phanteks is great as per reviews I have seen but in India we don't have them...market is ruled by cooler master, corsair, antec and local makes most of which are shear crap but few make rock solid models but still generations behind the leading manufacturers....
Bitfenix, nzxt are recent introduction to the Indian market but its hard to find them at a reasonable price!
If you have slots then fill them up with fans as the manufacturer's design and you should be fine and in future you can always swap and change things around as per your understanding and needs
