As stated above. What do you guys think? It's quite pricey for a PC but I'd like to get some longevity out of it...

Unless your overclocking, drop the i7k to a i7. Get rid of the liquid cooling aswell and get the titan extreme cooler. A pc will last longer if its not OC'd and maybe longer if it is air cooled, as liquid cooling can break. I would drop to a lower SSD and get a 1-2TB Western Digital black HDD. Drop the mobo aswell, unless your overclocking.

Would you recommend the 3770k or the 2700k?

Also, can I ask why you suggested I get a HDD over an SSD? Price isn't an issue btw.

Get an i7 without the "k". They are just as good but they dont OC as well, but if you want your PC to last you do not want to OC it. A Big HHD like 1-2TB is usaully better to have for your files, games etc..

A 480GB is not even that much memory. If price is not an issue then get a 1 or 2TB western digital HDD aswell.
