Hey guys,

so I've come to the later stages of building my new PC. It's meant for gaming and also video editing and programing for my studies and stuff. I am planning to overclock.

So first here is my build so far:
 

 
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($364.63 @ DirectCanada) 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($109.99 @ Canada Computers) 
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($231.80 @ DirectCanada) 
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($479.00 @ Canada Computers) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card (2-Way SLI)  ($794.98 @ Newegg Canada) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card (2-Way SLI)  ($794.98 @ Newegg Canada) 
Optical Drive: LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer  ($91.25 @ Vuugo) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro (OEM) (64-bit)  ($144.99 @ Canada Computers) 
Total: $4102.31
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
 
For Fans I was planning to go with Noctua NF-AF14s for the H110 and some fancy Corsair AS AF120s.
I will use the Cosmos because I can get it cheap from a friend of mine and the mainboard is also set because of a deal I get at my local techstore.
I wanted to maintain a black and red colorsheme.
As for monitors I got a 1440p Monitor and a 1080p as a second screen.

Looks like a pretty nice build to me.

I would get another 2TB drive but that is just me, because I use alot of storage.

You can get Windows 8.1 for pretty cheap from G2A, but I've never used it, so I can't vouch for it.

Go with a cheaper Mobo, but if you have a nice deal, than it's okay (but for red/black colour scheme you can go with MSI Gaming Series Mobo's)

Go with a cheaper HDD

Price:Performance ratio on 780Ti, especially SLI is terrible... You can get away as easily on 780 SLI

That PSU is way Overkill, even for an SLI, 850W 80+ Gold is something you're looking for

Do you really need an ODD O.o Is it important for the stuff you do O.o

You can get Win 8 key for cheap o G2A (i've never used them because i have no need, since i have Win 7, and i'm not planning on upgrading to Win 8/8.1... Maybe Win 9...)

 

EDIT: Try this, and if you don't need CUDA, then for that price you can go for 290X CF
