And might add another GPU for SLI.

Intel Core i7 4770K 3.4-3.9Ghz (Quad Core) Haswell
Corsair H100i Hydro Series
WDC Caviar Black 1TB
Samsung 840 Pro Series 128gb sata
Corsair Dominator Platinum (Dual) 2x8gb ddr3 1866
EVGA GTX 780 Superclocked 3gb/384bit
Asus 23\" (MX239) LED IPS Designo Series

Thanks in advance.

Case is up to you and I like big big cases so not everyones cup of tea.

PSU mind you I know about. If you can afford it get the Seasonic, you might as well get the best with those top end parts you are buying.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Thanks for the reply. Im thinking to get the CM HAF X but i really dont know what PSU to get to handle 2 way SLI and some corsairs AF120 and SP120 fans. Do you think corsair ax860i enough?

A 2 way GTX 780 SLI should pull around 450W - 500W so the AX860i will be more than enough to handle those behemoths.

i would be more worried about fitting that cooler into a case, even with the haf x you might have to do a few tweaks.

I'm leaning ion the Phanteks Enthoo primo ....supposedly to be released on newegg September 3rd (already out in Europe)

I'll prolly use an HX850 or AX860i for the system (or Seasonic equivalent) and a 2nd PSU for water stuff later on.

Case really comes down to your tastes, I like plain case like the obsidian series by corsair not complex and very large ones but keep in mind that with 2 gpu's you need a slightly large case to extract the hot air and to make room for additional fans in the future or maybe custom water cooling.

Psu: 850W would do preferably gold but silver or bronze would do. 🙂
