Overall it looks pretty solid.

I am a paid professional, but only when I am at work...and getting paid.

looks solid, but the psu is way overkill. 500W-550W should be more than enough. and you are overspending on the case

No worries, you were not the first person to overread the OP ;)  As far as the components go, it indeed looks fine. I myself am a fan of just having a single large ssd, but it should work fine for the upcoming couple years.

I think it looks good. OP is looking at a 1080 that costs $50 more. I suggest dropping the DVD drive because you can install windows on a USB drive

Its a good build Matias but it kinda puts me past my limit at the moment and i dont really have much knowledge of water coolers so im kinda more preferred more air cooling thats what i went with the corsair 780t case cause i heard it had good air flow

I'd recommend staying away from prices other than the manufacturers ($729.99) before a card is released ;)

I know thats true but this is the price i found it off its website http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6183-KR

Actually i was think of droping the DVD drive because i recently found a usb DVD drive from my lenovo y50 laptop in my desk and i was thinking of using that instead

I bought my Corsair 1000W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply for $129. You might wanna wait until it drops again, they drop regularly.

 

Here's my build, similar other than the GPU http://pcpartpicker.com/list/K7ZYcc. Mine is for Video Editing though :)
