Hi,
Im not really very good when it comes to computer hardware, so was hoping someone could look at the current build I have made and tell me if all parts will be sufficient? Originally I had chosen the bog standard PSU but the website said it would not be powerful enough to run the hardware chosen. Also I chose one of the more bog standard cases however again, the site said it would not be big enough to house the processor cooling. I will be using this system for hopefully 5 years (hopefully..) and will be coding/compiling, running various virtual machines aswell as playing some games (ESO/Defiance/Battlefield 4 etc...).
I'm fairly dead set on that processor and 64GB of ram, the graphics card however is debatable as I'm not too sure how much difference I would see between the GTX 780 vs GTX 780 Ti, would the normal 780 be good enough for future games or is it worth the extra 100ish GBP to for the 780 Ti??
Anyway some opinions would be greatly appreciated.

^^ Is what I was thinking, however I could also change the GPU to the 780 Ti and change the 1st HDD to a 120GB Kingston V300 SSD and it would work out £10 more expensive than the build above.
My thinking of the build above was to use the 120GB SSD for the Operating System, the 1TB HDD for Program Files/Game Installs and the 4TB HDD for my media collection... Would the 780 Ti offer a VAST increase in performance over the standard 780?
