These are the parts I've picked out wouldn't mind some help here to:

 

Case: NZXT Phantom 820

CPU: i7 4770k

CPU Cooler: h100i (ok here i need some help i was thinking the h110 or kraken x60 but i dont know if it will fit in the case i plan to keep the top 2 200mm fans and use those as sorta a push pull config along with the cooler instead of paying an extra 35$ and not useing the fans)

GPU: GTX 780 or 770 (not sure but this just depends on the left over cash) (perferable the 780)

PSU: Corsair AX850

SSD: Seagate 600 series (just came out great speed looks great and cheap)

HD: 3tb 7200 rpm (seagate)

Ram: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16gb (2x8) (just to have the option to have 32 in future)

MSI Z87 MPOWER Max because this board is OC certified and MSI has been making great overclocking boards imo.

Ouchh $410 for the G1

 

 

The MPower would be a good choice if you're into overclocking. With an H100i you will never be able to abuse the board like I want you to :L Maybe hold out and build a cpu loop or trade the Dominators.

 

 

 

I had an idea the other day, I should see what Ghost thinks about it. You take one of those Swifttech CPU block pumps and one of those Alphacool 240 Monstas (or a nice 360 if you have the room) and make your self a Monsta H100+Wats :P You'd save on a res because many rads, including the Alphacools, have bleed ports on them that you could use to fill your new H100+Wats.

The cheapest one haha. I dunno, the Z87 would be my choice, I'm assuming u can afford all of them. . . . So I would use the rest I saved n put it towards something else, if u need anything else that is, or I dunno. . . ? maybe splash out on some fans?

What do you mean switch out the Dominators, as in save some money and get cheaper ram, and i dont think im confident enough for a custom water loop which is what i think your trying to tell me

I was thinking the sniper but its so damn expensive even though it has amazing sound and Wifi plus 4 way sli, the Mpower was my second pic its 150+ dollars cheaper and is great, but the other day i saw the ASUS Maximus Formula VI and it looks amazing its like the Sabertooth mixed with a ROG board so yeah its hard to pick. but for sure the Mpower is up there in the tops
