Hello guys, i really need someone to help me.
I am going to build a "super" computer and i have chosen a lot of parts for it, but I am not sure that every thing "fits" like if the PSU i not good enoght to power the hole system, or the motherboard is a bad chose for the processer or something, so I am asking for help, so if someone can take a look on all the parts and say if there is some problems I will be happy.
Thanks Danny

To save a buck and get pretty much the same performance check out a 980ti for your GPU.  Your CPU is high end...if you are just gaming then there is no need for so many cores, but if you do editing and such then by all means let it ride.

 

You may need another reservoir for your system if you plan on doing both cpu and gpu but not entirely sure on that.  

 

Also, don't forget about case fans/rad fans to add to your list its an expense that is forgotten easily.

 

My personal preference would be to go for Western Digital over Seagate...I have had 2 seagates fail within two years.

 

All I have for opinions...good luck!

   Two Titans are a bit extreme, and they will consume a lot of power. (if that is an issue for you that is, I live in Vegas and have solar panels that give me a surplus of energy, but that is just my situation). Future proofing is nearly impossible at the rate the industry changes, so I'm just going to recommend a tremendous mobo (which you chose), a case with the features you like (again what you already have), a CPU that meets your needs, a GPU that meets your needs, a router that will give you unfettered connection, and the tools and software that you can run on this. It's not uncommon for flagship processors to depreciate in cost after CES, so build carefully and be happy with what you have. There will be a day, very soon, that all of our computers will be obsolete and we will look at them like the 1983 Apple Lisa. 

   I know this sounds preachy, but nothing is perfect so hold on to some money for an upgrade. Your current specs are insane, and will probably go underused with basic streaming, and editing. I'm currently working on my first game, and I wish that I spent half of my $1500 budget on a router, desk, peripherals, and maybe some coding lessons from Lynda.com. I love my current PC, but my friend just built the exact same one because he had the patience to wait for sales. I know that my $1500 computer is overkill for my needs (I don't overclock that much), but it still isn't future-proof. 

  I am probably only saying this right now because my budget is tight at the moment, but don't build a computer to be future-proof. Build a super-computer when your job is footing the bill and it has to process petabytes of information at a time. Spend your money on something else, or save it for replacement parts, or save it for the next big upgrade you do. Just take this from a guy who spent too much money, and wishes he had it back. Because now I have a game in limbo, an apartment with 15 days notice, no savings, and a stack of pending job applications for seasonal retail positions.

 

But then again if someone else is paying for it, or you have a stable job and this is not a huge investment, then buy whatever you want! enjoy your bad ass PC and march proudly through the halls of the master race.
