meh get the h105 or h110.

[Tmh85]

Go for a 780ti instead of dual 770s (Imo single card is better than dual) also you could get a 760i for corsair link

im going to run single 770 to start with

[ZetZet]

4gb vram wouldn't hurt for sli.

What's with the RAM? The Vengeance Pro series ram have some of the worst timings on the market. I'd opt for G-Skill tridents, since you can get DDR3-2400 16gb for cheaper than the one you have selected. 

 

Also, why not just spend about 50 dollars more towards your graphics card and get a 780ti? SLI doesn't always scale well in games, and you're better off getting a higher end single card now, and being able to upgrade in the future by just throwing in another card. 

 

EDIT: You said you were running a single 770 for the start, in that case, you should be okay.

 

As for the PSU, you should be alright. Sure, you are 100w over what you'll actually need, but it could save you some room if you ever decide to make some upgrades (new processor in the future, etc).

 

Just some thoughts.

Why so much ram?

[Imabigmac]

bigger ssd, like 250gig. H100i might be a tight fit but it will still fit. 

[WoodenMarker]

What's the system being used for? Why sli?

[mrogicom]

What's the system being used for? Why sli?

 

main use is for gaming

 

sli will be in the future, will run single 770 from the start

Brand of ram doesn't matter.

What's your budget? You could get better for the money.

Here's what I would suggest

 

Powerful now, below budget, should be fairly quiet, and plenty of room for expansion and upgrade.

you can change the RAM and CPU cooler if you'd like. 2x8 slot kit will give you upgradability, as will a 780TI and 850w PSU. There's money left over so you could buy a larger SSD if you'd like.

but will only run single card in the start

but will only run single card in the start

Less heat, less noise, less power. 

 

Buying two 780's will give you more raw performance now, but buying a single 780TI and then SLI as an upgrade in the future will give you more performance then. If you were to buy two 780's now, when you want to upgrade in the future you'd have to do either 3 or 4 way 780 SLI (imo, no) or throw them out all together. 

 

There's nothing a 780TI can't handle today. 

I always try to build a system that can be upgraded and conscious of the future.
