building a premium desktop

[newtotech101]

I have allotted over 3000 dollars to purchase and custom create a desktop for gaming and general purposes. I plan on this machine lasting for many years while being capable of computing intensive games without failure for some time to come. I am going for reliability, ability, and "future proof" qualities. I have a general idea as to what I will be composing the machine out of and here is a list of the primary components. Please provide feedback as deeming fit and limit in-thread badinage; I do not enjoy banter or slander of my choices. I am asking for feedback so please provide it in a community friendly manner. Here is my idea for the computer:

Case-cooler master storm series trooper (full atx) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119245

HDD- Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148844

Wireless N card for LAN parties- tp link pci-e adapter
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704133

PSU-corsair hx 850w gold standard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139011

RAM (DDR3)- corsair dominator platinum in 32gb @ 2133
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233306

OS- Debating windows 7 vs 8. I'm not a fan of 8, but future proof me so why not? If I decide against it, I will go to Ubuntu or 7 depending on responses.

Heatsink/cpu cooler- Titan Siberia (I want air to be channeled as well as the mobo to be cooled which the "z-axis" provides with stability; if there is a better alternative please provide)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835192027

Optical tray- standard LG tray for bluray, 3-D, burning prior and standard discs
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136250

CPU- The brand new haswell i7-4770k @ 3.5 ghz for socket 1150 (love it)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901

Mobo- The 1150 lga socket z87 asus sabertooth (loved the z77)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131976

GPU- EVGA gtx 780 (newegg is out and EVGA doesn't host the product)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUIVSNS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

SSD- Samsung pro 840 256 gb (better waranty and price through amazon)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NB8WRU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A13BNE3P7C8THK

And to conclude the prices at over 3 grand there is a high quality TN panel benq 3-d monitor however I would love an ips with a 2ms response time if it can be found, misc fans, some tools, pwm extensions, a razer keyboard to go with my deathadder and replace the logitech board.

There are a number of areas in which this build could be improved, if it is designed purely for gaming:
You could cut your ram down to 8/16GB of 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance/G.Skill Ripjaws X. 8 would be plenty, 16 would be overkill but justifiable at this price range. RAM speeds over 1600mhz don't really give any meaningful returns, and Dominator is pretty much just charging extra for the name.

You could use a bronze-rate PSU, such as the XFX Core Edition 650w or the SeaSonic S12II 620w. It would save you a great deal and lose you very little. Both of the aforementioned PSUs are $90-100 less expensive than your current PSU, and are of approximately equal quality.

I don't know what you intend to store, so I couldn't say for sure that you could cut storage without losing anything, but for most people 128GB of SSD and 1TB of HDD work fine. You generally only need more if you plan to store video files on your machine.

Finally, you could use an ASRock Extreme6 motherboard. The savings would more than justify the miniscule drop in performance from the Sabertooth, unless a long warranty is a sticking point for you.

You could put the savings from all of this towards an additional 780 (for which, incidentally, I would suggest a Gigabyte Windforce or ASUS DirectCU II-cooled variant, as they have superior coolers to EVGA), or simply save them.

As an additional note, while I don't consider it enough of an over-investment to necessarily correct at this price range, that i7 will perform exactly the same as an i5-4670k in 99% of games. Only a small handful of games benefit from hyper-threading.

Nice build.Good Components.High quality PSU like the hx850 which is haswell compatible will run that nice setup.
Samsung pro 840 256 < Is probably the best performer on the market today.I have 3 of them.

Have fun building.
