Cool thanks for the info.

What about a hard core gamer for FPS and games with high to max settings with graphics mods and mods that add extra things in-game? What kind of RAM would I need, how many GPUs, how much RAM? I plan on getting three monitors.

I am planning on getting 3 LED Asus monitors for gaming and heavy work. The processor I plan on getting is an Intel Core i7-4770K. The graphics card I plan on getting is the GeForce GTX 970 or 980, I don't know the difference. When the VR products are released, like the oculus, I would like for my PC to handle that at high to max settings. So can I have 1 GPU and run 3 monitors smoothly with high to max settings? Or do I need more GPUs or a different core? Games like Elite Dangerous and FPS are the ones that I mostly play. I would really like some advice on the GPUs and monitors. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/terminator25703/saved/#view=cgLG3C

So I am thinking about building my own PC. I would like to know what are the best recommend parts like GPUs and Water cooling. The case that I'm looking at is the Trooper (SGC-5000-KWN1.) I am new to this PC building thing and I have no idea what I should look out for and what parts to get. I would like to use this PC for college work, editing videos and casual gaming. Some Questions that I have, are: Why is a quiet PC a good thing? Why is over heating bad? If the power is 500 should I get a 1200 power supply? What is the good thing of having 2 graphics cards? What does water cooling do and why not use regular fans? I want an intel core processor, but there are a lot to choose from.
