Hello everyone! :D
Its me again and today i would like to ask you all for your personal opinions on this build.
For £2100 do you think I am making the most of my money; also, can you spot any area's where I can save money while keeping the same/similar results.
Bare in mind it will be used for Gaming, Video Editing, Programming and other forms of entertainment mostly.
Also, what kind of settings do you think this will be able to get great FPS on while playing games like battlefield and DayZ.
Thanks In advance!!!:)

Pretty much a beast. Since you are going all out, maybe think about the i7-4790K instead? You can use it with the same motherboard. Everything else is very nice. And if that is the monitor you are using, you will be getting like 10 million FPS in every game. Maybe not, but you won't be worrying about FPS for a long time.

There is one issue you might run into - heat. The H100 will take care of the CPU but the 6 fans on the two Windforce coolers will be pumping all the heat from the twin 780ti's back into your case. Some people prefer reference cards for SLI because they pump most of the heat out the back of the case. You will not get the same overclocks but your case temps will be a lot lower.

So Cub_Fanatic, what do you suggest i use instead, could i change to a fan cpu cooler like the Noctua and have two more case fans, bearing in mind that there are already 3 x140mm between the front and back?

No, the H100i is perfectly fine. All I am saying is that a non-reference GPU cooler like the GB Windforce 3X is designed to keep the GPU core cool at all costs - including making everything around it hotter - because it is blowing all the heat it is removing back into the case. Having just one of them usually isn't much of a concern unless it is a mini-ITX setup where everything is crammed together. But having 2 or more of them means twice the heat from two very large and powerful sources. I'm not saying it is a huge problem, especially if your case is large and has adequate cooling. But, if you don't plan on overclocking the GPUs at all, you would get better case temps if you go with reference design 780ti's. An H100i cooled CPU will get the same temps either way since it is not affected at all by inner case temps. It is just something to think about.
