I'd get a faster SSD and a caviar black as a secondary drive. If you are not planning to OC the cpu the liquid cooler would be overkill, an air cooler should give you similar performance at stock clock speed also the maximus doesn't have as many expansion slots as the P8Z77-V.

Swear you've posted this like 10 times ;)

Honestly cannot see anything that would need changing. If money is no limit, stick with the 680's. If you want to save a little, drop it down to two 670's. Hardly any performance difference!

Yea agree with corfate, only thing I think is that you could switch up your 2nd HD to a Caviar Black or even veloco HD for quicker loading times on whatever you decided to shove in it.

I really don't know what I'm going to put on it, I'd rather put my games and stuff on my SSD, then I don't know what I'll use the HDD for...

you'd be best putting windows (as it already comes on it) and any loadup programs which can make you wait a while, on your SSD, and then your games and everything else on your 2nd hard drive, but thats my opinion, other people prefer differently.

maybe just put your favourite couple of games on your SSD

I'd suggest just sticking to one thread and keep posting there to get better feedback. I am still not sure what you are planning to use it for, I think you mentioned video editing and gaming, the i7-3770 should perform better than the i7-3820 and unless you are planning to use most of the additional features of the rampage extreme motherboard you could consider a cheaper alternative. If money is not an issue then get the i7-3930k and the dual radiator coolit liquid cooler if you are planning to OC the CPU.
