Hey,
I am gonna be going to college in August and plan to upgrade my computer for a couple of reasons:
A- Because I can
B- To get better performance
C- To have a computer be compatible with the latest gen games and programs.

My current build/set up: http://pcpartpicker....e5/saved/snnypg

I was looking at upgrading the graphics card to a 980ti and then perhaps water cooling the entire system, obviously this can take a lot of time and knowledge to do but I think it would be fun, that said I have no idea where to start with pricing it out to look good in my case etc.
The second thing I was looking at was getting another hard drive just so i won't run out of space anytime soon because my current HDD are starting to fill up.
The last thing I was looking into upgrading is the RAM to max it out at 32GB just to have, I notice my current build uses almost all 16gb of ram i currently have installed when under load running the Adobe Suite and games as well as multiple tabs and videos etc.
Is there anything anyone could recommend in terms of cost and what could be improved? My budget for this is going to be around $1000.00 bucks.

That said overall goals are:
- Nvidia GTX 980 Ti
- Water Cooling loop (if someone could help me price this out I might adjust my budget)
- Fan upgrades to be colder if water cooling fails
- HDD addition
- RAM upgrade
EDIT:
My current build might need a PSU upgrade if adding the 980 Ti but I am not sure, insight on that would be great. Another thing I might be doing is getting a custom glass window or plexi panel made to replace the side one on my case currently because the one i currently have is VERY VERY scratched up.
