So the budget for this is well a lot of money because iv waited so long for this and I will be making a lot of money for it but here is the setup for the build:

AMD FX-9590 Black Edition Octa Core CPU Socket

Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z Motherboard

Kingston Technology XMP Beast Series 16GB 2400MHz DDR3 CL11 DIMM Desktop Memory Module (Kit of 2) And it's 2 8GBs but I'm buying 4 of them to make 32GB

Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5-inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive

Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II 3GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Corsair CW-9060016-WW Hydro Series H105 240mm Rad Extreme Performance All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler

honestly looks like you just went for all of the most expensive parts to be honest.

CPU: Stupid, for the price Intel is better vy a long way
Motherboard: Stupid, you aren't going to use all of it's features.
SSD: Stupid, 1TB is overkill for an SSD especially with 2TB of mech storage.
GPU: Good
Cooler: Good
PSU: Stupid. YOU WILL NOT NEED 1200W. heck this would run off of a 600W
Case: only get it if you want to go fully open loop

I think so to I just think more money = more performance and since it's my first build I want to get a fast computer that can handle anything I can through at it.

I think with "a lot of money" you should have stayed out of the AMD realm. Also no need for 32GB ram and like they mentioned before a 1tb SSD is a terrible idea, heck even a 500Gb one is too. Go with dual 250GB SSD`s if you got the cash and change up the processor to an Intel 4770k.

I would like to know what you are building towards so I can further assist you.

couldn't agree more with you. a budget limit would be nice too.

I'm guessing your budget is around $2000, This is what I would buy for that budget.

AMD's FX series of CPU are dead now. Avoid them. An i5-4570 is going to perform almost as well as an FX 9590 and is almost 100GBP cheaper. If you plan on over-clocking, get the 4670k. Also, the 4670k is a superior CPU to the FX 9590. Spending that much on a motherboard is unnecessary. You could get a decent Z87 mobo for 90GBP for over-clocking a 4670k. A 1TB SSD is also pointless. I would recommend a 120GB SSD for your OS and a HDD for storage(however much storage you will need). 1200W PSU is insane, as stated before, by Terrabytez, a 600W PSU would suffice. The GTX 780 is a great card, but at a huge price. You will only need it for heavy gaming and multiple monitors. 32GB RAM is also pointless. 16GB RAM is more than enough if you plan on editing/rendering. 8GB is more than enough RAM for just gaming.

More money does not equal more performance, at all.

If you want to spend lots of money for high performance, socket 2011 is the way to go. But Volk's build is very good.
