The Samsung EVO drives should be out soon and the 1TB MSRP is $650... can't beat that for performance near the 840 Pro, unlike the 960GB M500 which is 20-30% slower on average.

Amazing what 'all out' means to different people.... suddenly, a budget appears.
haha. well. i personally don't NEED 4 x titan's when they are $400 more than a 780 but performs only 20% better.
Sounds about right for the whole thing. (water cooling etc. not including mouse/monitor/keyboard/head set)
i may give this a try
yeah.. that's what i was trying to say. Just took me more words

Are you even planning on doing multiple cards?
Really, 4770K, ASUS Z87-A, 16GB of 1600 RAM, one or two 780s, PSU to match, WC the whole thing, can't be more than $2500.

Agreed.
4770k
ASRock Z87 OC Formula
Phantek Enthoo Primo case(comes out next month)
Samsung 840 Pro 512GB / EVO 512GB/1TB
1TB / 2TB WD Caviar Black HDD
g.Skill 16GB DDR3 1600
Seasonic X850 (should be plenty for if you went dual 780 + overclock)
EVGA GTX 780 ACX (1 or 2 depending how many you feel you need
)That would seem like a solid setup to me for 1440p. Of course, MSI keeps teasing the GTX 780 Lightning edition, so if you want to keep your eyes on that you can as well.
Realistically a single 360mm or 480mm radiataor will cover your cpu and 2 video cards fine, assuming you use a decent pump. Of course adding in a 2nd radiator can't hurt if you feel the need.
Another great build minus the Lightning and OCFormula. Dude isnt going sub ambient so no point to pay the premium for those parts since he will not be using the features that come with the premium price.Agreed.

as of now I have planned for 1 120.2 and 1 120.1 (possible for a 140.1 instead of 120.1) . I don't think i can fit anymore radiators in my case

You could get some G.Skill Trident X already at 2400 MHz,

As far as rads, take a look at the case I mentioned in my post, the Enthoo Primo, it will offer plenty of room for much larger rads, but it will not be coming out until September. If I were to get another case and did not already have my Switch 810, I would be all over that Enthoo Primo case.

it's not that. it's a 120.2 and a 140.1 (380 total)

I could always go hybrid. (Air CPU and then get 2 780's and use the water cooling to just them). I don't think a 380 would be enough for a single i7 cpu/780
e/ as for outside of the case. the one on top will be outside of the case. and I will have to see how my mother sits before i put one on the back of the case to see how it would fit. or I would have to know how it is going to attach to the case.

Why not a single rad connected to the back via standoffs?

Where are these standoffs and how are they applied?
e/ the ones i saw required holes. i don't think my case has those holes there

Listen to them on the PSU. I purchased this one because I wanted one that was fully modular and I'm planning on doing adding quite a few more things such as another GTX 780 for triple-monitor gaming. Truthfully, I could have gone with one with a much smaller rating, even with the planned upgrades I have.
I will tell you, though, that everything about this PSU has impressed me. From packaging, to looks, to cabling... it's all top-notch. So, I'd recommend this brand and series without hesitation, but you could easily go down a couple of steps and have more power than you'd need.
