Your processor and graphic card are really good! One tip, don't cheap out on the power supply and motherboard, with the power supply I would suggest 950+ watt. Ten you have to decide if you want water cooling, with that graphics card I would suggest it, and why not if you have no budget. RAM I would suggest Corsair Vengeance, 16gb or 8gb, depending on what you want, just make sure you get a decent speed on your RAM! More RAM will make high end games, if your playing minecraft, speed will matter more, but if you can get both size and speed, go for it! Hope I helped somewhat :)
Would you say that this is okay, I'm looking for speed and size like you said, Does it have that? This is RAM Right?xD Which power supply would you reccomend?

Any power supply with 900+ watts should probably be enough. That RAM is very good, if you can afford to get that then do it, it is a very high speed with 16gb, just make sure that with this your motherboard has 4 slots for RAM since it comes in 4x4gb

If you want to go all out (like I did) get a second hard drive, in total my computer has 3TB of storage.
You're also going to want to clock your processor a bit to make it run faster. Be sure to do some stress tests if you do that. I'm not good at all with computer specs, but those were two contributing factors I remember to making a really high-end computer.

No don't go with a gtx 780, I would recommend buying 2 gtx 680s as you will be able to handle more than one monitor with less fps lag. Good choice on the processor, however get an i7 extreme edition its even better than the i7 you plan on getting, you'll easily reach 300 fps with that processor. You'll also be capable of running shaders :)

i7 is overkill....
Get an i5. Unless you have a beast monitor, 300fps will be above the refresh rate, which means you'll get flickering. i5 is great for 512x texture pack, shaders or whatever else Minecraft will use it for.
No I have an i5 and it can lag real hard if running several apps at once. It can't even run shaders :( i7 is more worth it as it is not much more expensive than an i5
Shaders is all on your graphics card. Also custom build you pc, you will save so much money!
Shaders depends on the processor and the graphics card. In order for shaders to function, you need to turn on SLI in your graphics card. One of my friends has the most powerful i5 and a gtx 780 but he can only run shaders at about 25 fps. Trust me on this you need a very powerful processor to run shaders. If you have the most powerful i5, you might be able to run shaders if you overclock the processor but that is risking the processor melting which is what happened to another friend of mine :p

You and Linkdude1997 have been very helpful, Thank you. I have some more question :3 sorry for annoying you, http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php...cts_id=15244&gclid=CImn45Pim7gCFQYd3god51gA5w
What do you think? Is it too loud, Not powerful enough, What do you recommend?
Much too powerful. Save yourself some money and go with a 750-850W. Choose all your parts on here, (http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/) and in the top right of the partlist, it'll tell you a recommended wattage.
