First pc build advice

[LegendChris]

I'm bulding a pc mainly for gaming and for these uses: dreamweaver, photoshop and programming like C+.
Are these components suitable?


Case: NZXT H440 Black/Red (not 100% sure because front panel doesn't have slots for optical drives, oc panel etc)
Cpu cooling: Corsair H100i
Motherboard: Asus maximus vi extreme
Graphic card: Asus GTX 780 3gb direct cu ii
CPU: Intel 4770k
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16gb (2x8gb)DDR3 2400mhz
PSU: Corsair HX750

formula or hero for gaming and other things.
extreme mainly aimed for hardcore OC'ers.
if its only becouse of the frontpanel, then get the extreme.
there is a dual bay coming out now that have close the same fetures as the front panel have.
witch is named "ROG front base", im not shure when it comes out but rumors says its going to be in the $70 range.

Unless you like the look better, I would buy Ripjaws Z instead of Corsair. Cheaper, but still the same product except the heatspreaders.

I found that the Ripjaws Z are much more expensive than corsair ones. Lowest price that I found for ripjaws is around 200 euros for 4x4gb and less speed: 1600mhz. The vengeance pro are only 168euros and they have better speed and look better than the ripjaws imo.

Well here in 'Murica they're cheaper. Sorry.

Could anyone explain me what is "HDCP" that comes with the graphics card?

HDCP = High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It's industry standard though it was cracked a while ago.

It's technology that encrypts the signal that goes over the DVI/Displayport/HDMI that gets decrypted by the monitors etc.

It's switching bits in the bitstream that get unscrambled on the other side. It's basically to keep you from trying to bootleg data.

What type of media does it block if it is bootlegged?
