I don't have a case or cooling listed yet because I planned on getting the deepcool genome 2 which has the integrated cooling (however it is not listed on pcpartpicker's website) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853040

I'm not sure what kind of storage I should get either. Anybody see any problems fitting these things into the case, or any other problems/advice


*edit*
The current cost with what I currently have listed is about $1780. I'm not really sure what I'll do with the PSU yet. Price is actually not too much of an issue, but I would like to keep it around the $2000 mark maybe go up to $2500, but it looks like I don't need anything else that is too expensive.

SSD for OS, you can go with a Crucial MX300 275GB version or an OCZ Trion 150 240GB and if your budget allows perhaps look into Samsung's 960's. What about the PSU? I've vaguely stated the parts without a price on them since you didn't state the budget for them nor your entire build's cost.
