CPU Cooler:        Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard:      Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Memory:             Patriot Intel Extreme Master, Limited Ed 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage:             Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk

                          Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Is the RAM good, or are the Corsair Vengeance Series better?

Recommendations of a ATX motherboard...

 

Any Build improvements?

 

Thanks For Reading...

Can you recommend me a good ATX motherboard because I like the silentness of the R4

Asus Sabertooth Z87 because of the 5 year warrenty (maybe a little out of the budget though)

MSI GD-65 Z87 Gaming if you want to stick with MSI also a little bit cheaper

I would recommend the Sabertooth because I am a Asus fanboy

Personally, the H100I has had quiet a few issues with the pump failing.  I'd recommend an H100, H220 (If you live outside of the US), or a water 2.0/3.0 extreme from thermaltake.

Specs: Core I7-2600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.35V, 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance Black 1600MHz CL9, Cooler Master Evo 212, MSI Z77 Mpower Motherboard, Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X @ 1000/1400, Cooler Master HAF 932 Blue Edition w/ 3 Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 120MM fans (2 up top 1 in the bottom) replaced side panel with a window, and rear fan with a Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 140MM, Cooler Master GX 650 80+ Bronze PSU, Samsung DVD-RW, Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD, Seagate 750GB SATA III 7200RPM

The 780 is the best performing single gpu other than the titan. However, both the 780 and the titan are not a good value for their performance/price ratio compared to other solutions. 

What kind of editing/work are you doing/Programs you are using? Overall budget?

I heard that on the h100i the pump fails, so can you recommend me another water cooler that is as powerfull as the h100i in the price range of £100($153)...

Is the thermaltake water 2.0/30. as powerful and less likely to fail...
