Wow... that really opened by eyes about the GTX 690. Looks like I'll definitely change that. As for the GTX 680s, are you saying they aren't much better than the GTX 670s? said:

In terms of the processor, the i7-3770K really won't give me any advantage? The i5-3570K is the next best thing? said:

the i7 CPUs have a feature called hyper threading wich allows the CPU to create four virtual cores that are handled by the OS as logical cores giving you a ~30-35% improvement in a few apps that use more than four cores... games are not like that and having HT ON actually reduces your gaming performance but it will boost your Photo/Video editing performance.
About the RAM, what brand and series would you recommend? said:

Ram choices are VERY personal,
buy this kit if you are going to buy an CPU watercooler or use the stock fan OR
this kit for normal aftermarket air coolers
I think I might go with the PC Power & Cooling PSU which Deemo recommended. said:

Seasonic and PC Power & Cooling are top quality PSU manufacturers and they manufacture a lot of other companies PSUs... in fact, Corsair's TX PSUs are manufactured by seasonic but i wouldn't recomend you to buy that particular PC Power & cooling PSU because its simply overkill and NOT modular like the HX750.... your system will not even draw ~620w under full load but its always good to have a bit more than what you need and its never good to run your PSU at almost 100% of its capacity.
Onto the motherboard, you wouldn't advise getting any of the ASUS products I had in mind? I've always heard ASUS made fairly reliable motherboards. said:

Fairly reliable??? they make the best high end motherboards in the world!! but if you want TRUE reliability then you need a Gigabyte motherboard with military class components. my mobo recommendations are: Gigabyte
GA-Z77X-UD5H Asus P8Z77-V or Asrock Z77 Extreme 6
And I searched up that case, looks absolutely amazing, I'll definitely keep it in consideration. said:

EDIT: Also, I've been looking into buying a liquid cooler for the CPU. Would Corsair H100 work well? said:

i am going to be honest with you... the H100 cost ~100$ and it gives you about 4 degress less temperature than the aesthetics killer Noctua DH-N14 (ugliest CPU cooler in the world) and the Thermaltake Water Extreme cost about ~130$ and it performs considerably better than the H100 BUT.... if you want the best of the best of the best buy this:
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12222/ex-wat-162/XSPC... those are gonna be the best spent 150$ of your life and if you decide to buy an extra 240mm rad you can watercool your CPU AND GPUs (if you're planning to do that then buy the reference model of the GTX 670 for about 370$)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... if you buy two you will save 60$
