Hi Guys

I was recently left a couple thousand pounds in inheritance from my granddad to buy a new computer (yes, he was that cool). I haven't built a computer in years so before I click that buy button. I wondered if this knowledgeable community had any suggestions on different parts (for the same price hopefully) or if i'm going wrong somewhere. I have a little money left although I would like to keep the price around 2k.

Here are my specs.

MOBO: Asus Sabertooth X79, Intel X79, S 2011, DDR3, SATA III - 6Gb/s, SATA RAID, PCIe 3.0 (x16), ATX

RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) Corsair Vengeance Jet Black, PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC, CAS 9-9-9-27, XMP, 1.5V, X79, Z68 & P67
EDIT* now 2x8GB

PSU: 1200W Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution, Full Modular, 80 PLUS Gold, 1x139mm, ATX v2.3, PSU

CASE: Corsair Obsidian 900D Black Super Tower Case with Side Window - Designed by builders, for builders

HDD: 4TB Seagate ST4000DM000 Desktop HDD.15, 3.5" HDD, SATA III - 6Gb/s, 5900rpm, 64MB Cache, 8ms, NCQ, OEM

SSD: 500GB Samsung MZ-7TE500BW 840 EVO Basic SSD 7mm SATA 6GB/s 3-core MEX Controller Read 540MB/s Write 520MB/s 98K IOPs

CPU: Intel Core i7 4930K Extreme, 2011, Ivy Bridge, Six Core, 3.4GHz, 3.9GHz Turbo, 5 GT/s DMI, 34x Ratio, 12MB Cache, Retail

GPU: 4GB MSI Radeon R9 290X, 28nm, 5000MHz GDDR5, GPU 1000MHz, 2816 Streams, DP/DVI/HDMI
(could have went 780ti but I like amd and the free mustang and NPC slot is a nice addition)

FAN: Cooler Master Nepton 280L Water Cooling Kit 280x30mm Radiator, 2 x 140mm Jetflo Quirt Fans

(I have KB&M, tv, optical drive etc)

Any thoughts would be welcome. Also if anyone has an idea as to what settings etc I could achieve that would be cool to know.
