Like the title says this is my 2nd build I have ever done. I built a PC for myself over a year ago (nothing too amazing) and now a friend of mine wants me to build him a PC. He told me there was no limit in terms of price (reasonable of course). He wants an absolute BEAST of a PC. He said he wanted to get an Nvidia card (used to be AMD) I told him about the 780ti and he said he wanted two so those are kind of set in stone. Same goes for the case. Here is the build so far. I was hoping to get some opinions or suggestions for improvement.

The red 230mm fan on the front of the case will be replaced with a green 230mm fan.
Three green 200mm fans: two for the top and 1 at the side.
One green 140mm fan at the back.
The two 120mm fans that come with the Liquid Cooler will, of course, be replaced with 2 green 120mm fans.

Thanks in Advance.

Oh I messed up the Link. It should be the 860W version.

Don't you think getting the platinum would be worth the extra money over the bronze. In the long run of course.
Also that promotion ends today and we won't be ordering stuff until later this month.

You are right of course. There is no argument about quality here. However that CORSAIR AX860i is not available right now at newegg.

This is my recomendation for a reliable alternative. Its almost $100 less but its a Seasonic PSU:
XFX ProSeries 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
