And if you are not into OC then you wont need a liquid cooler, a air cooler will be sufficient. But its your call.

16GB RAM will be an overkill, no games or programs can use that kind of RAM, so its better to stick with 8GB of RAM (2 x 4) =8GB.

You can run all the games in Ultra settings on a 1080p resolution.

Good luck.

While that is an awesome setup there I would say you might of went a little over board on the graphics card for a 1080p monitor. but other than that your good. that 780ti would be better suited to a higher resolution display or multiple monitors. on a side note to answer your fan question i would say getting a fan controller and if you decide to add more fans use one of those. sense your motherboard only has 3 fan connectors.

I think that gtx780ti is a little bit overkill, I should take just a gtx780.
And if this is your first time building I want to show you this video I uploaded to youtube It is a step by step tutorial!

The 780ti is not worth the money. For gaming.
If it's for modern games get 2 760s it's cheaper and scales very good. Make sure to look for overclocked ones.
My Zotac AMP! 760 can max any game with 30-110 FPS like BF4 and Ghost. so 2 will easily be GREAT and cheaper,

Also spend the money you save doing so to get faster RAM 1600 is standard basically one step above 1333. With that motherboard you can do 1866, 2000(o.c), 2133(o.c)

And the power supply is fine, 900w is what I have and it will future proof you a bit more.

Also why exactly do you need 16GB RAM? It's not used for gaming and actually causes a small latency bottleneck when gaming because you don't need any more than 6GB for games. 6-8GB is a sweet spot anything more is not needed unless you render heavy files and decode a lot which you don't do that much in gaming.

😛 For you to think about more

I put a better monitor, better because soon g-sync mods will be able to be put on it (g-sync if you didn't know makes games run at the exact timing as the video card causing the least amount of latency possible giving you an advantage in games)

I also changed the power supply to an awesomely lit gold certified one

The two 760s together beat the 780ti 9/10 times when gaming in games that make use of them.Any game that doesn't make use of them you will have well over 60FPS anyways because most new games use them.

I put 8GB of fast RAM because 16Gb is more for work than gaming, 16GB is slower than 8GB by a few frames in gaming which isn't a big deal but if you're just gaming you won't benefit from more at 1080p

I do recommend searching to make sure the case is compatible with the cooler because not all cases have enough space between the ATX motherboard and top vent to put a double radiator.

If you would like to buy your own fans, I reommend Noctua fans, silent, pressure optimized and very good performance, though they're ugly brown and white lol but most likely you won't see them. Also, add arctic silver 5 on the CPU (make sure to clean the CPU cooler with rubbing alcohol before adding it if there is already thermal compound on it.

(PS I do recomend air over water, for the same price actually a little cheaper your CPU would do a lot better with a Noctua or Phanteks cooler) Noctua will be more quiet though.

I agree but i don't use a gtx780ti, just a gtx780 and I also edit videos with my PC, so that's why I use 16GB of RAM

I'd keep the gtx 780Ti then in March/April upgrade to the new 1440p ROG G-Sync 120hz monitor! Oh man that's gonna be sick can't wait >.<

Just bult a custom PC for 3D animation/rendeing and I think the components would be great for gaming as well.
I cant remember some of the components but here are a few.

AMD FX 9590 5ghz processor
Nvidia 780 TI graphics card
samsung 1tb boot drive
standard optical drive
cooling fan-cant remember the name, cost 4$0
