im new to building and things of this nature but i need a good or great pc for school, gaming, and hobbies. the school part is actually for programming and software so its not for word or anything
i want "top" of the line but i dont want it going over $2000 more like good parts and it needs to include the Asus maximus Vii Hero

this should do the trick. If you need peripherals and/or a monitor i'll change it a bit
Looks like a beast. Very upgradeable and overclockable.

Just get the nh-d15 / dark rock pro 3 , they look better .
And get a 1 tb caviar black , the money saved can be put towards a better PSU ( if you want SLI in the future ) like a corsair RM 850w
If you don't want sli than what is there is perfect ;)
i would go for something like this:

For productivity the i7 could realy make sense over the i5. Further i choose for the NZXT Kraken X61 one of the best Aio´s. i also added 16GB ram, can allways be handy with your programming work, for a GPU i choosed for the Sapphire 290 VaporX this is realy a nice card, offcourse the 780Ti is a littlebit faster, but you also pay allot more for it. Sapphire VaporX has a great cooling unit, runs realy cool and quiet, and its a beast of a card. in my opinnion the performance diffrence between a 290 and 780ti on 1440p is not worth the extra price.
let me know what you think.
