Well i want to build a pc for $3000. 

 

I want a intel 4770k and the gtx 780 in it. Plus, I want it water cooled.

 

I just want some advise on what other parts I should get.

Custom water cooling or a all-in-one.

They are in the order of less to more in order or performance, but the first one also looks the best, IMO.

I want a full tower case, I want a monitor, 16 gbs of RAM, plus i want keyboard, mouse and headset with a mic on it. 

 

GAMING!

 

i5 4670k (Or i7 4770k but there won't be any difference for gaming)

8GB (1600mhz) (16GB Is OVERKILL for gaming unless you really want to but you won't see the difference, no need to go over 1600mhz)

GTX 780 (You can get two) 

Samsung 840 120GB (Boot drive)

2TB Western Digtial Green (Mass Storage)

H220

750W PSU (Get something high quality)

Gigabyte GA-Z87-UD3H (Or something similar from MSI or Asus)

NZXT Switch 810

 

Headsets -steelseries siberia v2

Monitor - If you are getting SLI 780's DO NOT use a 1080p monitor, you'll be wasting your money. Get something 2560x1440 or above.
