Moved to New Build Advice. You can post a Rig Gallery when it's done, and a build log while working on it if you want to :)

On topic;
An i7 4771 does not exist, [Edit; okay, apparently it does, but it's locked anyway so don't get it] it's the 4770, but make sure you get the 4770k cause you cannot overclock the non-K version which makes it pointless to buy such an expensive board.

That power supply is massive overkill, you might as well get an RM850 and you can still add another GTX780 later without any problem. Or get an AX860 which is Platinum rated and fits the red colour scheme.

Lastly you might want to spend some more money on a better quality case. Something like a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 or Define R4 would be nice. If you let us know what exactly you are looking for in a case it might be easier to recommend something more specific :)

I just edited my post. Yes there is an i7 4771, but it's just a 4770 that's clocked 100MHz higher which is a bit pointless. You should get a 4770K cause the non-K series cannot be overclocked.

If you do not plan to overclock anyway, you should get a cheaper motherboard as this is a bit pointless with a locked CPU. Also, are you getting a 16GB kit, or two of those kits? Cause either is massive overkill for a gaming rig. You only really need 8GB for gaming. You can easily upgrade it later anyway.

With the money you can save on the motherboard, RAM and PSU you can almost buy a second GTX 780 for SLI.

I understand that you may like the look of the case, but I'm just saying that it's not a very high quality one.
 
ok thank for the help and i for got to say what os i am geting it is windows 7 ultimate 64bit
edit note i am all so going to us this pc as an live streaming pc
if you do not like the Aerocool GT-S Black Edition ATX Case what do you think about the Thermaltake Level 10 GT Black ATX Case

These are the bits that I have problems with.

i7-4771- not worth the price, should have just got the 4770/k
case- Aerocool have poor build quality generally but it could be ok
PSU- serious overkill, I hope you're getting three 'cards for that.
CPU cooler- Thermaltake is awful. Easily the most hated company on this forum. just get a hyper 212 as it is a locked cpu

Honest Opinion :).

Yes, you can fit one slim 240mm radiator + fans in the top and one in the bottom of the case (although I do not recommend using the bottom for that).
