First build planning

[generic_citizen]

Hello everyone this will be mi first build ever so I hope I 'm doing well. Budget isn't a problem, but if you could give an estimate in USD it will be awesome, so here are the parts.

Motherboard: Asus maximus VI formula

CPU: intel core i7 4770

GPU: gtx 780ti

Cooling: corsair h105

PSU: be quiet power zone 800w

Case: corsair graphite 760t

RAM: Not sure yet wich brand but I'd like 8g (2×4gb)

Right now I only have one monitor but I'm planning to get 2 more, 3 in total

I'm going to use my old keyboard and mouse .

It will be mostly for gaming but I'd like to do some video editing as well and maybe some animation.

So i can has opinion?

make that i7 4770 a k and up your ram to 16  and then you have a beast build

If budget is no problem then this looks fine.  The only thing I'd recommend is that if you want to do animation and editing maybe upgrade the ram to 16 gigs for dem render times.  Other then that this looks great.  Oh and make sure to have plenty of storage.

I see no suffix at the end of that cpu, so you're throwing away money for an overpriced cpu cooler if your cpu isn't even unlocked. A sub 50 dollar cooler is more than enough for that chip. The rest is fine, though. You should totally become a part of the Mushkin Redline master race with your ram. :3

get a 4770k otherwise your choice of cooler and mobo makes no sense. May as well get 16gb of RAM, would get a seasonic  or corsair psu and any corsair case other then the lastest ones.

For gaming, only get an i5-4670k

Motherboard doesn't impact performance, don't pay more than you have to.  $100 for SLI capable, $85 for non-SLI capable

Get the least expensive 1600 or 1866 Mhz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5v RAM you can find, brand doesn't matter. 4GBx2

SSD + HDD

You want an EVGA GTX 780.  EVGA is the best.  Warranties, customer service, RMA, and Step-up program.

PSU, don't skimp out on this part, but don't go overboard.  a CX600M is a perfect value and mix of price to performance.  very quiet and semi modular.
