A 42 inch 1080p screen is not gonna be any good. Given the fact that a tv pixels are not densely packed like the 1080p monitor resolution. You will see black holes in between.

Unless it is a 4k tv.

If you're going full custom liquid cooling, forget about the Corsair H100i.

Don't get 42" led tv. You'll seriously waste the power of your rig. Of course if you can go 4k then just get one of those 4k TVs. Otherwise you can try 3x30" (monitors that run at native 2560x1600) and run at 7680 x 1600.

IMHO, his build is already top grade..

Specs:
Intel Core i7-4960X Extreme Edition
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
GYGABYTE R9 290X OC 4GB
G.Skill RipjawsZ DDR3-2133MHz 32GB (4X8GB)
DELL U2712HM 27" LED x4
WD CAVIAR BLUE 1TB/SATA 64MB CACHE// SAMSUNG 840 EVO 1TB
LG INTERNAL GH24 SUPER MULTI DVD REWRITER 24X SATA
Corsair Obsidian 800D
Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200 1200W
LOGITECH Z323 SPEAKER SYSTEM
WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 64BIT

Wait for Haswell-E, which will come in Q3 2014. That will be a huge difference with 8core/16threads and DDR4.

Intel Haswell-E Roadmap Confirms DDR4 - 8 Cores and Launch in Q3 2014


Otherwise:
- Change to a pair of Samsung 840 Pro 512GB in Raid-0 (to replace his Evo 1TB)
- Get LG BH16NS40 Blu-ray writer with M-Disk (for Blu-ray movie support?)
