that build is killer .. you can get the 2x2tb as it would be more storage but for a even better game performance get a ssd instead of the dual hdd .. hope i helped

An odd mismatch of high end parts. What is your budget?

Liquid cooling or air, no such thing as an Cooler Master Hyper H80. (Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212, air , Corsair H80 or H80i, liquid)

Sound card is a little redundant with the Hero, it comes with a first class sound card. Z87 chipset would need a BIOS update to run the i7-4790k, not a big deal, but you could just get the Maximus Hero VII and not worry about it.

8, 16, or 32 GB of memory. 24GB doesn't make sense for dual channel memory systems.

4TB drives exist, they would have to run in GPT mode to be a single partition. A 1TB SSD will be plenty for a while, you can always add hard drives later.

4TB of SSD? 2 thousand dollars for SSD?
