You have hit the nail on the head with that config. Couldn't have made it any better myself. That config will serve you right :)

WOW - serious overkill my friend. :) But that can be a good thing! What exactly will you being with the system? On that case, looks like you can mount a 280 on the top - so maybe look at a Kraken X60 or the H110i when it comes out? The larger rad give you a bit mroe headroom for overclock.

I will be doing a triple monitor setup 70% of the time for gaming and the other 30% for video editing/rendering for school. I have written down the Kraken and will probably use that but I'll keep my eye on the H110i. I'll probably have enough money for the build just before summer. I will post pics and benchmarks then, thanks for the feedback. :)

Seeing as you're going all out, switch the 840 for the 840Pro - better write speeds. You could also drop that PSU down to the 860i and still be fine even running SLI. Hell even the 760 could manage.

I wish I had that amount of money to spend on a PC but it is going to look epic when you are done. Upload some pics when you are finished :)

Great part selection ;) but as previously mentioned the ax1200i is way overkill, save a few $ and go the 860i

I would swap out the SSD for an Intel 550, Patriot Pyro or perhaps one of OCZs new Vector drives. They're more expensive than the 840, though all around much better in performance.

If I were to switch out the PSU for the 860i would i have enough headroom for overclocking?
