New Computer - Undecided - Help Appreciated

So I have decided to pull the trigger on a DS PC.  This is a new step for me - I built my last 7 rigs and now with kids and work I don't have the time (or honestly the willpower) to do it again.  So I have done a ton of research and settled on DS. 

Here is what I am considering:

Budget: Ideally $,2500, but I can go up to $3,000. Prefer to keep it near $2,500 to allow for sales tax and shipping.  
Expectation & Usage - Gaming PC (current gen & future games at max settings.  Currently playing Titanfall, Tribes, Diablo 3, Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Online, etc.) to last 4-5 years and double as a primary home PC. Single monitor use, and single vid card - no real interest in SLI or Crossfire.  Basically I want to buy this pc and be done with it for 4-5 years.
Special Needs - my steam library is huge and family pics take up a ton of space so more is always better

other concerns - I prefer mid-tower cases if at all possible and quieter is always better.  I hate when rigs sound like a plane taking off.

here are some builds I have run:
997275 - virtue at $2,500.
997291 - virtue a bit higher, but more fun
997277 - slade at $2,500
997290 - apollo at $2,800 - higher, but more fun than coming in at $2,500.

some questions:
1. All of the GTX 780 cards available in the build options make no reference of a superclocked version being available yet some of the other nividia cards available have a base or superclocked version to chose from.  Is this not an option through DS for 780 cards?
2. cpu boost beyond stage 1 - is this something I should do no matter what build I go with?
3. remote control lighting - this sounds freaking awesome. has anyone got it and is it worth it?  From the sound of it - my kids would love it.  This would seem to be a reason not to go the Slade route as you wouldn't really see it as much.

Love the forums and Thank You in Advance,
Vorlon

The special order fee is $45 if it is static.  When I asked about the special order for the Noctua NH-15 that is the price they quoted me...

So what are you going with?

lol man.  OK so my old rig is an i7 920, hd 5870, 6gb ram, 500gb wd black, win 7 pro, and an old asus mobo (the first with usb 3.0).

Currently I am gaming at 1080p and budget is fairly tight with kids, house, blah, blah.  So I tried to future proof this to a decent degree while not going crazy - so good mobo, power supply, ram, etc.  The vid card is fine for now, but I can add to or swap it out at a later date.

Thank you much. 

So I was at work today reading Deezel's post about his Apollo and thinking damn I really should add a gtx 780ti like he did while I am at it instead of doing it down the road like I already plan to do.  Then my boss walked in and let me know I had some referral bonuses coming in next pay check...I was on the phone with DS 2 minutes later.

Was reading up on some posts and have a question. Probably not the best place to ask it, but the first place I could find it mentioned.

DS allows special orders on parts, which I am aware of, but I saw in this thread (danjw1 stated) that they will not warranty special order parts beyond the manufacturer's supplied warranty.

Did I understand that correctly?

Secondly, and perhaps unnecessarily, if I were to request a special order case it really wouldn't matter as the components are all that would need to be DS warrantied?

Or would case-limitations leading to component failure fall into a "non-DS warrantied" issue? Perhaps I am thinking way too far into this, but I always like to be certain prior to getting unwittingly hosed on technicalities.

I had DS custom order a motherboard for my Slade and my understanding is that all of the DS supplied parts and the PC as a whole, excluding the motherboard, are covered by DS warranty. I understood the warranty coverage and exclusions before I ordered my PC and I'm fine with how things are.

It just arrived today!!  I will post a review under the general category once I have  time to get it setup and play some games. 

The question is...how long does it take to download an entire steam library on a 18mbps connection :-)
