Okay, so I am starting to save up for building a PC. I want to make it great. My budget is 2600-3000. I found out what parts I want and it added up to around 2,800. But before starting, I wanted to ask TTG, what is the best parts build a PC with my budget?
One thing- No matter what this is the case I want for my PC

To be honest, you're spending way too much on a PC, if you're going to be gaming you can save so much money by going with the i5 4670k, the xeons may be good but they are mostly used for servers and other stuff outside of gaming.
To me this just looks like you're throwing in everything that's expensive. The motherboard is so overkill its stupid. You won't use all the features to make it worth it, you would be better getting a board somewhere around $200 as thats where most high end boards are.
Also, SLI'ing is a pain in the ass, you don't want to do that. If you have enough money go for the 780ti, or the 780, no point getting 2 as it could be a problem in some games. Also, i wouldn't be running this on a 550w PSU, change that to a XFX 650w PSU, also, what are you going to be using this for?

I will say why this build is stupid.
1) Intel Xeon is more of a server processor, not really designed for everyday usages of a normal PC
2) With a budget like that, go for liquid cooling if you want to OC
3) The Motherboard has far too many features that I think you will barely use, so is a waste of money.
3)SLI is a pain. change it for a 780 ti
4) A sound card poses no benefits as back panel audio is just as good. waste of money right there.
5) Get a fully modular 650W PSU MINIMUM. that system will run around 550W so a 550W PSU would be sketchy
6) That case is HUGE. it is a SUPER TOWER. it's near 80cm tall and may be a pain if you want the PC on your desk/under it.

However, if you want a case with a window then get a Fractal Design Define R2 W/ side panel.

Another question. The build you linked me to, will that run next-gen games? Like Battlefield 4 and so on.

It'll have no issues running any games currently on the market, let alone in the next while.
