Ok so to not clutter up my other build thread more, I think it's best to start another log strictly for my build. Here's where I am at and all parts have been ordered:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Evil-MOBO/saved/#view=kj9gXL
Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor (Binned 4.5)
Asus SABERTOOTH X99 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card
Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)
Dell U2715H 60Hz 27.0" Monitor
Corsair K95 RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard
Corsair M65 RGB Wired Laser Mouse
Corsair H110i GTX AIO
(3) Noctua NF-A14 PWM fans
The X99 build that pops up is the build I am referencing. Not the other two in the list.
Sticking with the Define R5 for the time being
Thanks
Edit: So last night I ordered the H110i GTX to fit the front of the R5. I decided I will do a custom loop at some point but later on. Right now I'd rather get a really good chair for the desk, and solid head phones and a DAC etc. Also the 980 I'm getting has the ACX 2.0 cooler like the 970 I had did and it runs quiet and cool. So just keeping it a bit more simple for now, but the guts of the build are still there.
