Welcome to the ROG forums, Furyan.

The only vital part missing in your system is a nice SSD. Try to fit a 120GB in your system as a minimum.

For the CPU cooler, get something like a Corsair H100i. But make sure it'll fit in your Aerocool XPredator before you pull trigger.

Power wise, 1600W is way overkill. You have to take into consideration if you'll be overclocking and if you'll add more GPUs down the road. Then you look for a PSU that will suit your needs.

whats better the H100i must likely bot the less probable to have bugs.if you could afirm that the H100i is the best choice that would be nice cause i realy like that big radiator and those fans bot i dont want to throw money through the window

There is always a risk when using watercooling. It doesn't matter which company you use. The risk of leaking or pump malfunction will always be there. The only air heatsink that's even comparable to a H100i is the Noctua NH-D14. 😉

What is your total budget for your system?

Furyan · ‎10-18-2013

i dont want to spend more then 2k Euro on a build

That is certainly a very nice budget to build a very powerful gaming system, my friend. If I had 2000 euros to work with, this is how I would setup my system:

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz
Motherboard Asus Maximus VI Hero C2
Gskill Trident X DDR3-2400MHz 2x4GB
WC Corsair Hydro Series H100i
Disco SSD Samsung 2.5" 840 Evo 250GB
Disco Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA III 64MB
Fonte Corsair AX860
Total Encomenda: 1018,40€

Prices are courtesy of PcDiga. If you can get it cheaper at Modding world, go for it. As you can see the setup, comes down to approximately 1018.40 euros. Just add in the GPU, case, fans and other gaming peripherals that you want. Also if you're planning to do a 280x crossfire, swap that 860W PSU for a 1000W unit.
