Hi Everyone this is my first post here and I thought I would share my new build

So I am finally pulled the trigger on my order all the below stuff will be here Weds 9/26:

Intel i7-3770K Ivy Bridge
Having a hard time deciding on MB: options I am consider in order are Asus ASUS Maximus V EXTREME LGA 1155I
Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 when it comes out
ASRock Z77 Extreme9 LGA 1155

G. Skill Trident x series 32gb DDR3 2400)
2xCorsair Force GT 240 SSDs in Raid 0 [now with trim support :)]
Western Digital Caviar Black 2tb 64MB cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
Corsair HX1050 1050W Power supply
Noctura NH-D14 SSO CPU cooler (I purchased this but have since decided on custom water cooling)
2xMSI N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GB PCI Express 3.0
3 xAsus Vg278he Black 3D 27inch 2ms (GTG) 144MHZ refresh monitor 1920x1080
Deluxe Triple Monitor Stand Free Standing - up to 3 28" ( still waiting for this)
Nvidia 3d Vision 2 wireless glasses
xbox 360 wireless controller for windows
Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition

The things below are what I plan to upgrade:

1 or 2 more MSI N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GB PCI Express 3.0 ( my long term goal is to get two-four evga 780s the water cooled edition when the come out and have them on my new water cooling system)

3x Dell UltraSharp™ U2713HM Monitor ( these will likely be my everyday drivers for photo editing etc, unless I find i cant stand the 60mhz refresh rate after using the 144 on the asus) My concern is after using 2560x1600 on an IPS panel(my previous build has dell 30inch) that those TN with lower resolution will be crap for anything but gaming.

Of course I still need 2 additional rads/fans and the waterblocks for the video cards.

Here is my watercooling setup:

I dont have my waterblocks for my gpus yet or my 2 gpu its still on the way:
