I have decided I want to put the larger part of my budget into the CPU, Motherboard, video card and case (hopefully it will last for a couple computers). So right now I am thinking i7 2600k, Asus Maximus IV, maybe corsair 800D case, no idea on graphics card (PCI express), 4 gb x 2 corsair ram, 1 tb HDD and an SSD if I can squeeze it into the budget, also a corsair liquid cpu cooler. Maybe go full liquid cooled down the road if I get more into this. So what would you recommend for a graphics card? Considering right now I am up to about $1500 and would like to keep it under 2k even max. And would an 850w power supply handle all this plus maybe a cooling system later on?

I will probably just get a decent air cooler then until I am capable of doing a full water system. I just though the modularity made sense but I suppose you are right about a lot more places for things to go wrong. I will take your recommendation on the power supply.

You wont regret it, modular ones look a little cooler, but they can be a pain in the ass, also you loose a cable and you will never ever find a replacement
and yeah, they will not only tolerate you but they will turn you into a pro if you take their advice and check out the tutorials, PCs are wayyy easier than most people think

This site is great... their really good help over there.
Now I just need to decide on the case, SSD and version of windows and I am good to go.
Edit: Think I will go OCZ vertex 2 60 gb for the SSD, they speak highly of those over there.
I like the silverstone cases but if I want to go liquid cooled down the road I want a case with an opening behind the motherboard right? I cant seem to find a silverstone case I like that also has that option.
