Four open memory slots, PSU sized for a second matching GPU if you need more graphics muscle, dual 1440p displays, blazing fast disk solution... The i7 Extreme CPU will respond well to a nice overclock so when you get around to that, the H100i cooler will serve you nicely.

Thoughts?

Sorry for the late answer, but i wasn't in the country and i was sick. Anyway i lowered my budget to 3000€ and your suggestions seem interesting to me. So i got a question, should i just go a bit cheaper on the monitors? Should i go for i7-5930K , is there any advantage in it? I'm building it today and tommorow and then ordering it. So a bit more help.
