that motherboard and CPU is not compatible.

if this is mainly for something like graphics rendering, media editing or AutoCAD with a side of gaming & plans to setup a tri-SLI 780ti; ok. otherwise, if it's solely for gaming;
-2x4GB DDR3-1866/1600 is plenty.
-consider getting an i5-4670K. though assuming your budget, i can ignore the i7.
-i imagine you'd be gunning for something like an Asus Z87 Maximus VI or whatever they call it. note depending on how you plan to OC, you're likely could have gotten a cheaper $140-150 board and achieve the same results.
-650W for a single 780ti, 800-850W for two, 1000W for three. consider a tier 2 as your minimum; http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

I want to use the computer for programing, video editing and gaming. Money is not really an issue but i dont really want to go over 3500$. I also dont know how to overclock. Im new to all this lol.

in that case, you definitely need that 16GB of RAM. the CPU or motherboard though, you're going to have to decide: keep 3770K (or i7-3770 if you really don't plan to overclock) and a Z87 (or H87 board if you're not OCing) and save yourself a fair share of cash, OR stay with the Asus P9X79 LE & get an i7-3930K for far, far more than an i7-3770K+Z87 board, and see some performance improvements in programming & video editing.

you should bump the PSU up to a 750W for a single 780ti, maybe a 1000W for two if you're going with a 3930K.

I love that case eheh, is the MSI card better then the EVGA?
Whats the difference between a 4770K and a 3930K?
Thanks btw for this, i appreciate it man.

 

[Hazle]

the case, i went on a whim. and i concur. it does look pretty

the GPU brand, i went with the cheapest that came with a custom cooler. you definitely should go with evga for the build quality & great customer service.

as for 4770K vs 3930K: the latter comes with 2 more cores, L3 cache, and supports quad channel memory as opposed to dual channel on the more mainstream 3770K. the drawback; costs and power consumption. i don't know much about programming and video editing, but here's a performance comparison; http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/551?vs=552

whether the improvements worth a few extra hundred dollars is up to you. an idea what you should be getting below. if you want 32GB of ram, utilize that quad channel and get 4x8gb;
