i guys need some advise my first time building a pc

im going to use my rig for everything ranging from 3d rendering cinema 4d, zbrush, Photoshop, video editing to to gaming and watching 3d videos and normal internet browsing.

so far i have bought the IB 17 3779k chip. the thing is i cant buy everything and at once.

i want to water cool my rig.

i ve done lot of research on water-cooling and i don't think im going to have any problems getting the gear and setting it up how ever i need some advice on thing like - gpu , ram and ssd and motherboard of ofc the psu.

below is a list of the things i have chosen but im not sure if they might bottleneck or maybe be over kill in the future i will add a 2nd gpu so i have sli and i also want setup up multi-montior display.

Needs a bit of work.

First of you've specced two cases, an un-needed £385 motherboard (when a £150 will be perfect), and 8GB of RAM for £120. Its not all about the most expensive parts.

What kind of budget do you have?

This is my idea:


YOUR BASKET
1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 EX OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE NVIDIA GPU Keyring £549.95
1 x Corsair Obsidian 800D (6GB/s) Full Tower Case - Black £239.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £166.99
1 x Corsair Professional Series AX850 High Performance 850W Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply (CMPSU-850AXUK) £154.99
1 x Samsung Green 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm Dual/Quad Channel Kit (MV-3V4G3D/US) £113.98
1 x Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (CT128M4SSD2) £89.99
Total : £1,333.58 (includes shipping : £14.75).

 
tx doom for ur input the reason why i choose the asus v premium board was because it supports quad sli and crossfire and its has thunderbolt and other feature build in it. the reason why put two cases is was to get ur advise on which one to buy for water cooling there is also the silver stone cases.

i wasnt to sure about the dd3 ram is the Samsung better then kingston hyper genesis.

i dont really have buget im just buying all the best part i can afford.
