First time posting here so bear with me. I have a decent but outdated system right now and im planning on spending around 2000-2500$ upgrading it but i'd like some advice. Here's what im planning on upgrading to:
i-7 4770K cpu
Gigabyte G1 sniper 5 mobo
GTX 780 gpu
Rosewill Thor v2 white case
Rosewill Bronze 1000W power supply
4 x 4GB Avexir DDR3 1600 ram
I already have my hard drives, 4 x 500GB, and my optical drive
I plan on watercooling this rig but im still working out what parts to use for that. Any thoughts? I have built a computer or two but ive never spent this much money on hardware so i want to make sure i really get what i want so any advice is appreciated.
 
Yeah im thinking of downgrading that motherboard, newegg just has a deal on that one with the haswell cpu so i thought i'd take advantage of it. And im sure i could max this computer out for less but i dont see myself upgrading again for a long while so i'd like to try and take advantage of my full budget, which is ideally about 2250$. what i have listed above runs me about 1800$ but that doesn't include any of the watercooling parts. The watercooling is what im most unsure of, i'd like to cool the cpu and the gpu as well but im afraid since it's my first time watercooling im going to mess it up. Anyone want to give me a breakdown of what exactly i need to make that happen, particularly how strong of a pump?
 




Whoops, looks like i replied to myself instead of you, that's probably why no one was responding. Anyway....
