if its a gaming build, this is what you should be getting
http://pcpartpicker.com/au/p/wvmC
case
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...
-id rather not get cheapo watercooling
-not a scam motherboard
-i7s are faster for gaming
-680s are no faster than 670s.
-the 650D is a hot house and is loud
-high res monitors should be using a 7970 instead of a 670 or 680 given it has more vram
note. the d14 se2011 is designed more for 2011 socket CPUs given it only comes with 2011 mounting. just go to noctua.at and get them to send you over a free 1155 mounting kit.

The above build has 2 sets of RAM, either one is fine. Other than that, that second build would give basically the same performance and should be quieter for like $700 less.
EDIT: Dunno if you have some nice speakers already but you could get something sweet like the Audioengine A5+ with the remaining cash, they would look nice with that Fractal Design Case.

Thanks for your help.
On parts picker it said there is issues with your build???
Potential Issues/Incompatibilities
Asus P8Z77-V PRO ATX LGA1155 Motherboard and Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 CPU Cooler are not compatible.
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor and Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 CPU Cooler are not compatible.
UPDATE: oops just saw your note nvm

the heatshield traps heat and dust. if dust gets into the board (you need cooling fans for the motherboard), you can never get it out unless you take apart the shroudfeature set is the same as the v-pro
Ah ok thanks for the info, I do really like the look of it though lol...As for the water cooler do you suggest that I get the H100i instead?
I'm not big on that NH-D14 Fan... I guess because the plan was to have a case with a window with impressive looking internals, and I think the fan is a bit of an eye sore.

Well the case is personal preference, there's no harm in getting the 650D. It might be a bit hotter/louder but it isn't going to burn out your components or deafen you.
Also, you can avoid the vast majority of dust by having more intake fans than exhaust and fit the intake fans with dust filters.
Personally I'd just go with something similar to what TheBigTroll suggested, just saying your choices aren't exactly 'wrong'.

In my opinion get two 670 gtx windforce 3x, SLI setups are better than crossfire ones, for smoothness and driver support, also i rather get the sandisk ssd, it has toggle nand.
Also a psu with 750w is enough, like the corsair which is a good brand of psus.
Asrock board are better for overclocking the cpu, more power phases, like the extreme 6, it has everything you need.
And some nice case for it's price.

dont bother with a 680 of any sort unless they are custom and priced the same as a 670
djangoringo: id say pay the extra dollar for the pwm fans on the se2011. he can get a mounting bracket from noctua for free/ also would suggest getting him a modular unit. he will have a ton left over
the extreme6 isnt that good.
1100 runs pretty good but kinda lacks something. the window in my opinion with the holes is hideous

I thought he wanted a full tower case with good airflow, the 1100 is a good one.
If needed a silent case the fractal R4 is the best choice, for space and airflow and cause it's cheaper the 1100 is to be taken in consideration.
The extreme 6 has more power phases than the asus board, they're overpriced in my opinion, the asrock has everything he needs.
The cooler, depending on the wait for the bracket, it's not worth it, in my opinion, but the noctua NH-D14 is indeed is best option than a corsair h100.

Hey mate. All good info above. With those suggestions you'll be on the track. By any chance do you live near an MSY store?
http://msy.com.au/
They stock the majority of those parts... bar the fancy 5 x fan GPUs.
The website is bit all over the place... I just download the pdf part pricelist and call the stores in my area and do a bit of a run around. Will save you a bunch in having to ship from all the places PC PartPicker points you at
gtx 680s are in a bad place price/performance wise at the moment... 670's or even 7970 are the way to go. For multiple card setups I am favouring GPU models that exhaust from the rear, rather than the models with fancy coolers that will dump all that hot air into your case.

The thing is the part you listed is the H100 not the H100i, the h100i can match up(or get better temperatures) probably the noctua in terms of temps, but it's louder and more expensive, also for long periods of time, it can get higher temps vs aircooler.
The H100 is not as good cooler as the noctua in terms of temps or whatsoever.
So between the H100 and the noctua, the obvious choice is the Noctua NH-14.
Also keep in mind, you cannot do tri way SLI with those mobos.
And in my opinion not worth it, you need a >300$ mobo, two 670 gtx will do for 1440p.

i never said that the d14 was going to beat the h100i. i already know its going to lose. but then when noise comes into play, the efficiency of the d14 just smacks the h100i in the a$$. you can never run a h100i passive while you can easily do that with a d14 and get 4ghz (i tried and got 75c at full load. with fans it was 50c)
i really dont see the point of paying 40-50 bucks for that extra 4c cooler when in real life, it wont make a huge difference since after a certain point, closed loop and heatsinks differences make zero difference if the load temps hit 85c. your choice if you want something like that.
expect double the noise of a d14 compared to a h100i.
for 1440p, id rather get a 7970. performs better
