How good is this build and are all the parts compatible with each other? I'm wondering about the motherboard, I heard ASUS should be the choice? Also, do I need to get Case Fans, or are they not necessary with a liquid cooling system? Price is not an issue.

Well I heard it was the best GPU on the planet (could be wrong), I don't mind settling for the second best. Is GTX 780 the second best? I care about FPS a lot.

I see, thanks a lot. What about case fans? Do I need to get specific ones, or is it not needed with a liquid system?
