Time for a new build for gaming at 5990x1200 and heavy photoshop use.

New parts:

Asus rampage IV extreme black

i7 4930k

64 gb gskill ram

2x evga 780ti superclocked (might add a third one later)

Asus phoebus sound card

Parts from my current build:

Silverstone strider 850w

Corsair 600t case, bitfenix 200mm front fan, corsair 120mm performance series fans at top and on h80i.

H80i cooler

2x HDDs & 6x SSDs

I'll be replacing an asus p8z68vpro3, i7 2700k, 2 x gtx 680, recon 3d sound card.

I'm thinking the 850w should handle two cards ok, but if i get a third i'll need something bigger. I like the corsair 1200, a bit pricey though.

Anything else i'm forgetting or anything you'd change?

Why the sound card? The 850w will be plenty.

Why such an expensive motherboard?

You should make a pcpartpicker list if you haven't already.
