Ok I'm just about to press buy on this system, but need a second opinion. I need it for games, streaming in HD and some phothoshop and movie editing.
Price range is around 1500-1800€

Some comments.
- The Sabertooth is a gimmick board, you don't need to spend so much on it. It's basically the ASUS P8Z77-V PRO and the ASRock z77 Extreme6 minus the armor which actually adds to temps.
- You'll want an i7-3770K if your video rendering is heavy, and it should fit in your budget anyway.
- 16gb of RAM should be plenty. I believe 32 is way overkill.
- Why do you need 128 and 256gb SSDs? If you need that much, might as well get a 512gb unit.
- The 680 is a very overpriced card atm, it performs very close to the 670.
- Drop the H100. High-end air coolers such as the Silver Arrow, NH-D14, and Phanteks can pretty much match it. If you really want water cooling consider those custom water loops.
