So ive been looking at this build for a few days now, and im not an expert on this so i wanted to know
- Are the parts compatible.
- Are some of the parts overkill as i wont be overclocking (i know the cpu and motherboard are mainly made for overclockers).
- Im going to run 2 monitors with this set up, would it be better to get 2 gtx 780's or will i be fine with 1.
- Do i really need the watercooler and does it really (as advertised on corsair page) not need to be refilled or cleaned ever.

Motherboard - Asus MAXIMUS VI EXTREME
CPU - Intel Haswell i7-4770K
GPU - Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
Ram - Corsair 16GB (2 x 8GB) Dominator Platinum
SSD - Samsung 256GB 840 Pro
Hard Drive - Seagate 2TB Barracuda
Heatsink - Corsair Cooling Hydro H100i Extreme
Power - Corsair 1200W AX1200i
Case - Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl

Havent looked much about disc drives yet, but i know i need/want one aswell.
And i am going to build this pc myself.

 
- Are the parts compatible.
yes they are

- Are some of the parts overkill as i wont be overclocking (i know the cpu and motherboard are mainly made for overclockers).
lol, you pick all the expensive stuff :) it is really up to you if you dont mind your money

- Im going to run 2 monitors with this set up, would it be better to get 2 gtx 780's or will i be fine with 1.
definitely 1 card

- Do i really need the watercooler and does it really (as advertised on corsair page) not need to be refilled or cleaned ever.
personally i dont like watercooler/hydro cooler.
watercooler needs intensive care but performs very good
hydro cooler in contrary, no maintenance, but noisy and less performance
why not air cooler?

Thanks for the reply, i think i will go with this set up apart from the cooling.

So if i go for a air cooling what would you recommend to buy. I can go up to ~100€ (Finland)
And i would like it if it wasnt some monster cube blocking all the eye candy in the system.
