Hello everyone, i have finish choosing what i want in my computer but since this is my first time building a PC i wanted to ask some pros if everything is right and ready to go. Now first off heres my build :

CPU :
Intel Core i7-4770k
360$

Moterboard :
ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ ATX
250$

Hardrive :
Western Digital Velociraptor 600GB SATA III 10000 RPM
150$

SSD :
Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB
150$

Memory :
Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16 GB DDR3 1866 HMZ
180$

CPU Fan :
Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK
90$

Tower :
Corsair Obsidian 900D
400$

Power Suply :
Corsair Professional Series 860w
200$

Video Card :
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB
800$

Sooooo we are about at 2500$, i don't mind paying that, but the thing is i'm not a pro when it comes to computers so i'm asking if there is anything on this list that can be replaced by something better that is the same price or cheaper, second, is all this compatible? I have no idea how to look that up. I was willing to put 1500$, but i'm the kinda guy that wants the best, always. These items are based from articles from this website, the 'best of the month' articles, and i'm pretty sure we can tone down the price a bit with you guys giving me advice. One thing i absolutely want to keep is the GTX 780 Ti, everything else can change for stuff that is as good but cheaper. L'ets take the memory for exemple, are the Corsair Vengeance Pro really gonna make a difference for a gamer like me? The normal Vemgeance seem fine to. Do i really need a 200$ Power suply? Is there a cheaper SSD and Hardrive that do the same thing? I would really like 1T of space to. Am i better off getting a water cooling device for my CPU? I saved up alot for this and i never had a real good computer and the thing is i don't know much about how to build one or what is actually good or not. I'm sure you guys can help me and this means alot to me, help me out like this was your computer, and we can build it together!

Don't forget, i'm only going to game with this, that's why 2500$ seems a bit much. I can get more juice by overcloking it to, should i? Are there any bad sides of overclocking or i can get this price down to 1500$ +/- and still have a beast computer?

Well thanks for reading all this haha i'm just pretty exited and i rather take my time and say what i gotta say! Any ideas are welcomed!
