Need a high performance gaming rig that can also be used to develop 3d games. Not sure if i should invest in the raw specs or on features like liquid cooling etc? Is it worth the extra money? Already have 1080p monitor, just want a computer that runs almost anything smoothly. Budget needs to include OS.

From the hardware guide thread, i sort of found this to be around my budget. I was thinking I could upgrade it to SLI in the future. This computer has to last at least 4 years.

Intel Core i7 4770K & ASUS Z87 Deluxe ~ $865
G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3-1600MHz 16GB (2X8GB) ~ $165
Gigabyte GTX780 Ti ~ $
Samsung SSD 840 Pro 256GB - $250
HDD 2TB for Storage ~ $128
HP dvd1270i SATA 24X DVD Rewriter ~ $37
Corsair HX750 750W PSU ~ $229
Cooler Master ATCS 840 ~ $400

Also are the 800 series cards coming out soon?

Thanks for reading and cheers!
