Hello everyone, I'm currently deciding on parts for my first build. I think I'm pretty much decided on every part except Graphics and Cooling. I was hoping to get some feedback on the build as well as some advice for the graphics and cooling part of the build.

Here it is:

cpu - i7-3770k

graphics - gtx 680 hydro copper / classified / other

motherboard - maximus v formula

ram - dominator plat 1866mhz 1.5v 16(2x8)gb

hard drive - western digital 1tb black

ssd - samsung 840 pro 256gb

optical drive - lg black uh12ns29

power supply - corsair ax860

case - corsair 800d

cooling - custom water cooling (no idea)

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks
 
do it right, get this instead

-the i7 does nothing for gaming
-the i5 4670k is out but needs to be listed
-dominator platinums are a ripoff for nothing
-you dont need a ROG board to get good performance
-the caviar black has no advantages over the blue other than warranty, but you pay a heavy price for that
-cheaper SSDs that still perform great
-you dont need 850w for a 680. you will however want to have it for a 780
-you dont need such a large case

when evga comes out with a 780 hydrocopper, use that instead of the one i picked out. or just buy a aftermarket block from swiftech or EK.

as for the CPU cooler i included, you can add blocks and rads to it without requiring another pump. the pump onboard is pretty dam powerful. to cool this system, you will want to add a 360mm rad to the loop
