I've never built my own PC before but one of my friends has an amazing one. So I'm going to try to build my own. Basically I just wan to get as much advice and tips on the hardware I'm getting to see if they will even work together. So here is a list of the stuff I'm going to buy. mobo: Gigabyte Z77, Processor: Intel W3680, GFX: EVGA GTX 680 Sig 2, and 32 gigs of ram. I want to water cool the system but dont know if i can do that to the mobo...  Any and all help would be appreciated.

The CPU you want to use is for a 1366 socket and the board you want is a 1155 socket.

You should look at the GA-X79-UP4 MB & Intel Core i7-3930K 6 core CPU and run 32gb of 2133 memory
