So in the next couple weeks Im going to coming into quite a bit of money, and my goal is to put most of it away after I build a new desktop for myself. Apart from most of the questions I have about what kind of account I should put money away in to gain the most intrest, this will be one of my first times building a computer from scratch and I'm looking for some advice on what to buy/ the best way to go about building it.
So far this is what im interested in hardware wise.
First off the case. I really wasn't thinking much about this, I just went for the one that caught my fancy.

My main concern with it, is purely it's size, granted it is a desktop and this is what im expecting, i'm still a college student and I don't want to be burdened too much by its pure size. Though I do really like all of the fans it comes with and the water cooling port thingys(idk the name lol) (which is what I originally intended to do with the machine but we'll see)
Second thing I'm looking at is this processor/motherboard bundle
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1162369
Now my friend says all the time that I should really get an I-7 and with me being an animation major, it couldn't hurt to have that much power. My only concern is the price tag one it. With it hitting over 500$ for the bundle is it really worth the extra power? Or could I get something slightly less powerful for a significantly lower cost (I was looking at this as well http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1161241 though the reviews say it has horrible cooling)
Power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194094 good reviews and a not bad price so I picked it right away. Im not really 100% sure how to tell how part A works with part B so if I missed something please enlighten me

This was the one I was looking around for the most and this was the one I found that looked the best for the price it was.
Hard drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697 (might get more then 1 if I can run it)
Memory - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104302 (I shouldn't need more then 16gb should I?)
CD Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135247 (figured I'd get the blu-ray)
Monitor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009437 (1 or 2)
Total(Getting 2 of the HDDs, 2 Monitors, and the more expensive processor/motherboard combo the total comes to $1551.89 before tax/shipping which is $500 more then my original goal to spend, but still do-able)
Again this is my first time building a computer from scratch so if I left out anything or something of the sort let me know
ALSO: I really would like to have this liquid cooled but I'm a complete noob at such things, so any hints on where to get started with that would be nice as well.
Thank you in advance!
