Hey there!
I decided to build a new system for me in the next weeks. I already have the parts in mind I want to use, but maybe there are some better options out there or just some better combination of parts. I am from germany so I am not including the prices and I am flexible on the budget.
All right, the parts:
 

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K (not available jet)

 

GPU: Asus GTX 780 Ti OC

 

SSD: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB

 

HDD: WD blue HDD 2TB

 

Memory: Kingston HyperX Beast 2133MHz 16 GB

 

Motherboard: Asus Z97 Deluxe

 

PSU: Corsair AX 860i 860W

 

Disk drive: some blueray drive...

 

Case: Corsair 750D

 

Cooling: Corsair H100i (with Noctua fans)

 

maybe some Noctua fans

 

I want to overclock the CPU, but nothing extrem... not sure jet whats possible with the new CPUs. maybe 4,4 GHz. I will use the PC for gaming, office, photo editing and stuff like illustrator indesign and so on. I have a 1440p monitor but thinking about getting a second one.
I am not sure about the cooling unit and the SSD, I thought about a Noctua air cooler but it just doesn't look so nice :D

 

So some input from you guys would be great! What do you think? Some improvement ideas?

 

greetings from Germany!

Looks pretty good, have you considered going for 2x 780? You could pretty easily do that with your budget.

No he said 2x 780's which is a better buy even if you do play at 1440P if its in your budget.

for a cpu cooler, maybe go for a bequiet dark rock 3?

 

for an SSD, i'd go for the samsung evo 240 500GB or 250GB

 

2x GTX 780's will be better in my opinion...

I know what he said. I just prefer singel GPU systems thats why I went with the 780 Ti and not two 780s. 2x780s cost 370€ more (here in germany) and I can spend that money on other useless stuff :D more noctua fans or... save it for the second monitor

Nice build, though i would consider 2 290's over 780 SLi any day as the 4GB Vram and wider bus does much better at higher resolutions than the 780's, though it is up to you, 780's are no slouch.

the cooler doesn't look so bad... I just really like the looks of a watercooled cpu, but i will consider it.
