Im about to buy the parts for my new Gaming rig. My first time.
Id like any advice on what I could improve on.

Iv never done so before, but I plan to do as much OC as I can.

CPU- i7 4770k
(For new games which will use the extra cores... I think)

CPU FAN- NH D-14
(Best of the best?) and it gets hot hear- (Australia)

GPU- GTX 780 TI (Will add crossfire down the line when needed) so I must plan for this too.

Sound card- Asus Xonar Essence STX (because I can... and I like music)

MOBO- Asus Z87 PRO (Will this handle two 780ti's, sound card, wifi?) and will it all fit?)

RAM- corsair vengeance 2x4gb (8gb)
(RAM is just RAM right?)

Storage- Samsung 840 evo 250GB and WD black 1TB

Power- Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W 80 PLUS Gold (RSA00-80GAD3-US)
(Good Brand?)

Case- Thermaltake Level 10 GT
Will this have good air flow?
Is a cooler master storm trooper a better choice (I think the other looks better tho)

DVD Drive- Slim form laptop blue-ray (from my dead laptop) Right connections, but will it fit?)

Thank you for reading :)

There are 3 pcie slots and 4 pci 1 slots, as long as either your sound or wifi card will run on a 1x slot you'll be fine for the SLI(not crossfire as its an amd thing). If bith cards need a pci e lane then you need a diff board
