So I currently have a pretty damn crappy setup. Thanks to my ability to save up money and thanks to my grandparents I now have 5000€ to blow on a new setup. Of those 5000€ 1000€ will be paying for a new phone (Nexus 5.), a pair of Sony MDR 1R, a new table, and a new chair. 

 

I'm located in germany so prices are very different. For pricing please refer to www.geizhals.de

 

I plan on creating a Let's Play Youtube channel because I can :) and therefore I'll be gaming, video-editing, rendering, recording (That's why AMD GPU's are not an option. Cause Shadowplay :( ) I'll be needing the PC, a keyboard , a mice , a webcam, a really good microphone and a monitor (PB278Q vs PA279Q?) 

 

What I have in mind for the PC

 

Case: NZXT H440 in red and black (100% sure.)

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Hero (This one or the Ranger?)

CPU: I7 4790k (100% sure.)

Ram: 32GB of Corsair Vengance 2133 CL9 in black 4x8GB. (You may or may not belive this but it's one of the cheapest kits in therms to Price to GB) (Pretty sure.)

CPU Cooler: Be quiet! Dark Rock 3 (I would like a  NZXT Kraken X61 but that would interfer with what I have in mind for the airflow.) 

PSU: Corsair RM Series 750 Watt PSU (5€ more than the 650 one. I'm kind of worried about the cabels tho. A fellow of mine has it and the cabels are really hard to bend and some are even crisscrossing... I was looking at the Bitfenix Fury as another option but that one is 60€ more)
Storage: 2xWD Red 4TB + 1TB 840 EVO (100% sure)

GPU: Asus Direct CU II 780ti. (Pretty sure about the card. I don't want an SLI nor an Crossfire setup at this point) 
Fans: 4x Be quiet Silent Wings 2 120mm (3x for the front and one for the rear. I coul do 140mm in the rear but I'll be using a 4x3pin splitter so that I only have to have one thing connect to the motherboard and I don't think that I would work well if there are different fans on one 3 pin since I'll be setting up a custom fan curve for the fans with FanXpert II. 

 

What I have in mind for the airflow : post-105174-0-63834000-1405095470.jpg (The fan in the middle being the Dark Rock 3 oriented towards the rear.)
 

Now on to the peripherals: 

 

Mouse: Thinking about the Corsair M65 RGB. How bad would the laser sensor be?
Keyboard: Dead set on the Corsair K70 RGB with cherry MX browns. 

Headphones: Will be using the frommer mentioned Sony MDR 1R. 

Microphone: AudioTechnica AT2020 + vs Blue Yeti vs Blue Sprakle? (The yeti is 115€ the other options are 150€)

Monitor: PA279Q or PB278Q? Is the PA one worth the extra 250€?

Webcam: Logitech C920 (Pretty much the best webcam from what I have seen) 

 

Total: 3050€ to 3400€ Depending on if I go for the Bitfenix PSU and the PA279Q. +1000€ for the table, chair, phone and headphones 

 

=4050 to 4400€ 

 

So yeah. Can you guys help me with my questions? 

Thanks for helping me out.

good choice with the CPU cooler, avoid the x61 and all AIO's, because you need it to be as quiet as possible as nobody wants to watch a video with the PC noise in the backround.

CPU: i7 3770k@ 4.6Ghz@ 1.23v - GPU: Palit GTX 660ti - MOBO: Asrock Extreme 4 - RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz - PSU: OCZ 650watt - STORAGE: 128Gb corsair force GT SSD/ 1TB seagate barracuda 7200rpm

                                                                                         COOLING: NH-U14s/ 3x Noiseblocker blacksilent pros/ Silverstone Air Penetrator/ 2 corsair AF120s
