My inclination is that your budget is much more than needed.

1) In 5-8 months, you may see new components launched. It is ok to start thinking about things, but premature to buy most parts. Monitor, case, and psu might be exceptions.

2) What processor have you pickked? Have you already bought it?

3) I have some reservations about the need for liquid cooling.

4) Are you talking about a single 2560 x 1440 monitor, or, are you talking about three of them for triple monitor gaming?

5) Is there a particular case that you lust after, or do you just want a case that works well?

You should make a thread like this when you are ready to buy within a week or so.

yup 5-8 months is too far out to start selecting stuff now.

it would help if u said what CPU you had selected as it will determine what mobo & ram is selected.

come back when its 2-4 weeks time frame.
