Newbie Help: Building a PC

[Rampancy]

Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice on building my first PC. I actually built a PC about 8 years ago but I'm not really counting that there. It will be mostly a gaming PC with two 24 inch monitors running 1920x1080. I am also interesting in recording gameplay and video editing. I may upgrade my monitors in the future to higher resolution.

Here's what I'm thinking:

Please note that is has 2 GTX780s and 16GB of RAM, the picture can be confusing but there are 2x quantity of those items.

People are saying 2 GTX 780s are overkill but that's kind of what I'm going for

I'm a little worried about heat inside of the case. I'm still researching which ways to configure the fans. At this point I haven't put much thought into replace the stock front/back fans as I'd have the H100i up top, but I'm not sure which fans should push/pull - especially to keep those GPUs cool.

As this is my "first" PC build I'm not sure on many things, so any general advice that might seem common to someone experienced would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Looks good, may want to consider a SSD for OS and apps, do you have an OS? Think I'd start with the stock fans and see how they do before buying additional or changing the existing ones

Nice build. Couple things you can do better.
- Get better SSD like samsung pro. or cheaper sandisk ultra plus.
-better case to get better cooling for SLI

White case is must?
How about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147158

This more like what is good for SLI build.

Spoiler

White is not a must, I just heard very good things about the 600t. I have a HAF of some sort for my current PF and wanted to mix it up a bit.

I want to stay at this price point with shipping (3k). If you really think that SLI will cause huge heat problems I may have to skip it?

I do have Windows 7, I don't need to purchase it.

Looks like another case option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119239

Still worried about temperature with two 780s SLI

How Corsair 750D looks to you?

Corsair 900D is good but expensive.

This is new Phanteks. Maybe best case there is.

Silverstone is really quiet and have really good airflow.

That silverstone is really cool working case.

Edit.With this silverstone you can not use H100 cooler.
I think it is not good buy anyway. You are better if you build custom loop. Then you have option to put waterblocks to video cards too.
Bit more expensive way , but much better.

Edit2 Build like this and you have money to build custom loop.
And then you have reallu nice good cool build.
Just buy 3* 180mm rad. Pump , res , vater blocks to cpu + video cards. And Some fittings + tube and some other stuff like water additives and killcoil,
