Hey guys, I'm going for my first build. I know I shouldn't, but I'm going for liquid cooling even though this is my first. Anyway, here's a list of all the main components. Any feed back about compatibility or anything else would be Greatly appreciated! ;) Btw, I'm going to be using it for video editing and gaming, and some of the parts are overkill, I know, but I choose them for forward compatibility if I need to change/upgrade.

CPU---Coreâ„¢ i7-3930K Processor, 3.20GHz, 12MB Cache, 6 core
RAM---Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10 Dual Channel Kit (2 x 8GB)
Boot Drives (In RAID 0)---Crucial M4 2.5in SATA III Solid State Drive, 64GB
Main Storage---Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 7200rpm SATA III w/ 64MB Cache
Backup Storage---Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green 5400rpm SATA II w/ 64MB Cache
Disk Drive---BH12 Super Multi Blue 12x Internal SATA Blu-ray Disc Writer, Black w/ Lightscribe
Mobo---ASUS Sabertooth X79
PSU---OCZ ZX Series 1250W Modular Power Supply
GPU---EVGA GeForce GTX 680 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-E
Sound Card---ASUS Xonar DS 7.1 PCI Sound Card
HID---Corsair Vengeance K90 Performance MMO, ThermalTake Black Gaming Mouse 4000dpi
Case---NZXT Switch 810 Hybrid Full Tower Case, White
OS---Windows 7 Ultimate (Will probably get win 8 when it comes out)

I'm going to put an EK Water Block on the CPU and 680, with a triple rad and dual 5.25" Bay Res.
What do you think? :)
 
What? SSDs in RAID 0 but no SLI? Go big or go home! :D

You read my mind lol.

I don't understand, are people that impatient that they need RAID0 SSD for boot lol. My 7 year old 520gig 7200rpm Maxtor boots up win7 in just about a minute. I think the RAID0 SSD for boot was a bit overkill. If it's anything i'd be using RAID0 SSD's for would be a gaming drive.

I would have gotten SLi done before doubling the ssd's. Hands down.

*edit*
Good build though, non the less.
