Thank you for that explanation, I guess I will go and have a look into it, however what would be a rough cost for a decent DAC? Any you would recommend? Okay, for the GPUs I think I will just stick with the 2-Way SLI Setup, because I don't want that crazy fluctuation you get with 3-Way and 4-Way. Sorry, I will just cut down to 500GB as to weather I will get a full TB one, I don't know. Seems a little unnecessary seems I'm copping with a 500GB Hard Drive with my PC. To be honest, the speakers aren't that good for something like a Xona, however I pretty much always use headsets and the one I'm getting shall do it more than justifiable.

Thank you for some good suggestions, by the looks of it the Swiftechs have gotten the name for being the Noctua of Liquid Cooling and it by far does a much better job than the H100i, so I have gone for that instead. As for the Storage, well I have change it a little bit so I have updated the parts with the new link at the beginning of the thread. I was just wondering also, what is the difference between BLACK & RED WDR HDD's? Difference in performance? I'm confused. Again with cases, for some reason just doesn't appeal to me as some other cases like for example the Corsair 750D. As for the dedicated sound card, you will most definitely will hear a difference even if it is suttle and the on-board cards are as good as, but might as well add that better experience overall if I can. I'VE UPDATED THE LINK WITH THE CHANGED PARTS. EDIT: Is the power supply I have be able to run all this with the CPU and GPU most likely going to be quite higly OC'd, with the CPU being the more primary one to receive the punishing of being OC'd to possibly 4.4 or 4.6GHz?

Are you using the SSD's one for RAID and other for back-up (on essentials only), and the other HDD for mass storage like games and stuff or whatever your going to use all that space up on?

Well, I was just running 2 for proper and the other two for back-up I guess. However, every time I look at it it seems wrong, so I'm going back to just 2x 4TB HDD. As for you mentioning USB DAC, can you explain what they are because I have NEVER heard of it... I mean, what can be better than an actual dedicated sound card? As for the Watercooling, the H100i is the best Liquid Cooler there is in terms of temp, and I've been all over the place including the video from Linus doing the test of the H100i. Also, the Noctua fans are no longer thee best in terms of Temperature and Performance, not only that but the Phanteks Fans performs a lot better than Noctua with 200RPM less. Here are some links: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1345-page7.html http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/phenteks_f140/3.htm I just changed to that, because before I was going to go with Noctua's because I thought they were the best until I looked around more and more I came across the Phanteks ones. Also, why would I need to change the OP AMPS as well? Need a little more explanation there. How many GPU's should you think I should be running for this sort of build? I thought 2 would be best.

I thought I heard that the best kind of SLI mode would be 2-Way because games experience a lot of differs in FPS, or something along those lines. So, how come you would go 3-Way SLI here? Also, if Overclocking is going to be happening with the CPU and the GPU's already Overclocked, I thought 1000W wasn't going to be enough, so is 1000W okay then? As for the CPU, isn't 8 Core a little too much at the moment because I feel like I won't be pushing it enough, I mean I don't want to spend extra money if I don't have to for other things.

Just thought I would get your guys/girls thoughts on this rig before I fully go ahead with the project, so before I do I would like your input on the parts and if there was anything you would change with the build. I'm not so bothered about the budget, however my absolute limit and NOT a penny over is $8000 (I think that's what my currency [bPS] would change over as). Also, I like opinions on cases YOU would use for this sort of build and what kind of cooling you would go for, if it is custom fittings then if possible what parts I'm going to need as I'm a total noob at the moment, plus this is actually my first build in general, but I'm confident in my abilities that I should be fine.... hopefully :unsure: . Anyway here is the components of the build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/DnvLbv
