I'm going to be using this for computer intensive gaming, as well as minor use with applications such as photoshop, c4d, and vmware where the i7 is nice to have.


note: I generally prefer quality over saving a few bucks, so most suggestions I'm looking at are upgrades that I could make or better components for the same price. I'm also looking for incompatibilities or extra things that I need to order that aren't included with my part list that I might be forgetting

General advice/suggestions are appreciated!

Questions:

1) With the cooler master case that I have how are the stock fans? Are they generally pretty quiet?(I'm not a huge "silent fan" person but I expect them to be reasonably quiet). Should I consider swapping any of them out? Should I order extra fans to improve case flow/what sizes?

2) ....more to come probably

God I wish hat I had that kind of money. Only thing that I suggest is you get some sort of water cooling system. All those parts are very powerful and will generate a lot of heat. Other than that, it looks good. You'd be able to do lots of 3-D rendering with that setup.

Yeah, that's why I went with the top of the line air heatsink/fan combo and the best aftermarket cooling on those 780's that I could find. I'm hoping they can keep it cool enough =p I'd really like to go with an open loop but the loop that I want would add an extra $700 to my build and I haven't done it before so I'm just going to stay away from it for now. I've also considered a closed loop aio solution but from what I've heard they aren't worth it.
