my budget will be about 2800 and without the sound card and the couple accessories listed above (which I plan on buying after the build would be finished) the total is about 2790 before shipping. I know shipping will go over budget but not enough to make me really care.

Looks like a good build, however I'd personally go for a more high end case, considering the budget and custom waterloop.

Also AFAIK with the Blu-ray drive you have to buy specific software to run the Blu-ray at good quality, there is a conversion method but when I tried it the video quality was sub-par.

Very good rig, if i were you, i would overclock CPU to the 4.3-4.4 GHz at least, considering how much money you spent on cooling and board.
Good luck.

yeah its just going. be a few months before I'm able to get the money for the build right now I'm just trying to do as much research as I can and get everything to the point of once I get it I have little to know issues. 

 

I would have gone for a higher end case and wanted to but because of budget restraints I choose the Switch 810 for the price, which I still really like the design of and you can fit a 480 and 280 rad in it which was another plus.
