So I'm trying to come up with a good gaming PC that will last for the next few years.
A couple of questions that I have are, will the parts listed down below work together?
How long should this PC last before needing a upgrade?
I do a lot of gaming and rendering, would it be good at both?
If I do go ahead and get this, would there be extra cables, wires ect. that I would need to buy. If so what?
Is 750 watt good enough for 2 GTX 660 Ti's in SLI?
Should I get a water cooler instead?

As for the parts.

around 2000$ I could bump it up to 2100$ but not much more than that.

1. I included an i7 because of rendering. If you don't do much, you can drop it to an i5.
2. This motherboard provides most of the features of the P8Z77-V Pro at a lower price. (If you need Wi-fi or Bluetooth, you can get a discrete card.)
3. This build has 2 7970's in Crossfire. The power supply I included is more than enough for both of them. You'll be having a hell of a build here.
4. I included a Blu-ray drive. If you don't want one, you can get a DVD drive instead.

2 TB hard disk AND a SSD is going a bit overboard tbh. Cut some costs and get a 1 TB hd and a SSD. Or you could just leave out the SSD. Although SSDs don't really help with gaming, but they're still pretty handy.
