**updated the build drastically
Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a new pc very soon.
Its job will be to play games like battlefield 4 on ultra settings @ 1080p (with possible 1440p in future) while not dropping close to 60 fps.

Budget isn't really an issue but i'd like a machine that will one day be able to chuck another gtx 780 in there without needing to replace anything.

Also don't know which manufacturer version of the gtx 780 to get, I may wait for the GTX 780 Ti. Bottom line, will this rig play benchmark games flawlessly? and next gen games?(Post BF4) Any suggestions on which power supply would be appreciated also, it will need enough power for two 780s in sli. Decided to go with S1150 cpu and motherboard because i couldnt find any decent S2011 components in Australia. Is the S1150 cpu and motherboard just as good as S2011 , which is better?

Hi.
Also don't know which manufacturer version of the gtx 780 to get, I heard the asus gtx 780 is best for cooling and performance?
No. Zotac AMP is best.

If you wait just bit longer there is coming out new 780Ti.

Antec is good psu. But there is better ones like rosewill lightning.
800w.http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-lightning800
Or 1000w.

Or then custom loop. Because SLI 780 kind of needs that.

Cooler master is maybe not best case you can get.
Id look for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWsPYTDEmHQ
