uhhh, if you're going the quad SLI route, you'll need a workstation board. And probably an x79 cpu, not z97. I suggest wait 2 months for x99, and get a 5930k and a 780 ti. If you can wait, that is. If you can't wait just get a 4930k on a WS board

Edit: and use a caselabs case if you want to watercool

Well looking at it now I might just go with 2 gtx 780 ti

So the corsair will not have enough room for water cooling tho? That's what your saying right?

It depends on which corsair case you're using. The 900D is often a favourite for enthusiasts, but it's really not all that good. Rads often have trouble getting air through them.

 

The caselabs magnum SMA8 is much better for watercooling, and much higher quality. If you don't mind the equally much higher price tag

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

That doesnt matter, only the motherboard supported memory matters.

The cpu also supports higher speeds through XMP.

If you want a watercooling case then look at the Phanteks Primo/Luxe.

The Phanteks Enthoo Luxe would work out cheaper than the corsair 760T. It is designed as a watercooling case along with the more expensive Enthoo Primo. If you are set on the 760T though, then there is no reason why you can't watercool in that case.

The 760T has four radiator mount locations. The top can take radiators up to 360mm, front up to 280mm, rear up to 140mm, and bottom 120mm. Drive bays are removable and there is enough space for the various components needed. It will be fine for a custom loop.

And how much is the other case

As opposed to the caselabs case

Plenty room, but it's around 500 to 600 dollars depending on your configuration. 

760t is 170 dollars on newegg

Is the 760t only have 1 video card in it?

That picture of the 760t only has one card in it. You'd probably struggle to fit a second

If you are looking for cases with lots of room inside you may also want to consider the Corsair 750D and 900D.

If I was to get this case what would you suggest for choices in each category to fit what I am looking for? Dont worry about it adding up the price either

Also do you think 4 gtx780ti is to much?

Or would 2 be enough

I think you need to post a current part list and restate your goals and budget.

 

Too much for what? Enough to accomplish what?
