That's a nice spec :)
Your motherboard supports SLI (adding a 2nd GTX 780) but you will need to upgrade the PSU. Are you planning to overclock your cpu?

Yeah I'll look into adding a new card and upgrading the PSU later ;). But for now I only use one monitor and not a lot of games benefit from duel cards.

I went for the lower h40 because I don't plan on overclocking. But if that fan turns out to be loud (and i upgrade the card and psu) then I'll go for the h60 :).

If you are not planning to add a 2nd GPU I'd suggest downgrading the motherboard, same with overclocking. You could get the non-k version of your cpu and the triple copper heatpipe.
