the very first thing on the list is what told me this build will be crap. AMD has some nice low-end cpu's but in the high-end game intel cores are much better, more expensive but much better.

Intel:
- They don't catch on fire like amd does
- Faster
- Better technology put into each core
- Better specs
AMD:
- Better integrated graphics
- Cheap, easily upgradable.

check out some benchmark tests, amd is in the middle and intel is a the top and bottom (intel xeon and crap at the bottom)

then why the need for 2 graphic cards ? Drop a graphics card and the water cooling system and then get yourself a intel processor.

You'll never get maxed out graphics you'll always be able to get better than before.You also said that you're not going to be gaming a lot so then there isn't a need for this also good luck running them two cards and over clocked on that psu.
