Why no ssd? And that psu is overkill, you'd be fine with 750w or something. Anyways, my dream pc would pretty much just be what I have now but with custom watercooling and a second gpu for sli.

4x4 GB for RAM is faster than 2x8. Anyways, what do you plan on doing with that comp? I can assure you you dont need half of the performance it offers. Even I never used the full potencial of my now one year old comp and it costed 900€.

I don't know why you always have to get such an expensive PC..

Isn't it enough to buy a Playable one? you can safe money and play a lot of games too... (Price: 999€) ... hmm
but okay, it's a kind of DreamWish from you so go working :)

And you don't need thermal compound... The Watercooling will have some on it, so you don't need extra.

Otherwise you need an SSD, some better RAM and more fans.

When you have the money, the GTX800 series will be out and new processors will be out aswell.

I thought it was the other way around, I've always heard that using all slots puts more stress on the cpu/mobo

@Nod
Man, very expensive.

@Awesomedude
Added an SSD to the list, changed the power supply. What's your PC?

@Nicdel
Since my motherboard can hold 32 GB ram, I want to buy 2x8 GB sticks so I then have space for another 2x8 GB sticks if I wanted to upgrade. I'm planning on playing games at high settings, making video's, streaming ect ect...

@Daddy
Got rid of thermal compound, I have no idea what things I need for water cooling and I'm planning on getting water cooling after I have all my fans installed into place. Got the SSD, got some better RAM and I have no idea which fans I need to buy for this case. I know that I need 120mm fans or something...

Pretty much all I need is help with the fans and the water cooling parts. Other then that I'll try to find other components which could be cheaper lowering the price of the PC.
So far this is what I have...

In that case you do not need that good of a computer. Waste of money.
