Might be worth waiting for the EVO range of Samsung SSDs to get stocked.

What about 16gb ram

True as the case is also pre order as well ...... but I'm debating if the op actually needs a GTX 780 as you can currently get GTX 670's or GTX 680's in SLI for nearly the same price or cheaper.

 

[Ethermaster]

What about 16gb ram

[deadpresidents4]

I see LOL

How much of a bottleneck will there doing down to a 4670?

 

[Uncle Petey]

Excellent point made to overall post count correlation

Spoiler

 

[Ethermaster]

The i5 4670k is an amazing CPU its basically the same as the i7 4770k but with the hyper threading turned off, bottlenecking on a gaming machine with a single card isn't really going to happen but it does depend on the game. I think you're be better off with 8Gb and maybe an SLI setup or an 7970 and save yourself some cash personally.

Nicely done

 

[Legion]

What about 16gb ram

You'll never use 16gb in a gaming build.
It'll hardly ever use more than 6gb nevermind 16gb!

 

[Sgt_Pepper]

When it Comes to memory always remember 4 sticks look better than two

 

[Uncle Petey]

^Yep, it's the only reason I have 16gb. Well, that and the pimp led's

 

[tamzzy]

sli 670 > 780 and its also cheaper, means you can have the 4770k if you want to.

I am liking ethermasters spec so far, but could you do one without the extra fans and wires, (are they required?)

I would favour the 780 over sli 670 due to power compsumption and new archtechure
