B2, G2 or GS? Or one of the less desirable options? 140-160 (GS) should let you put a 140 in the bottom, 180 (G2 and B2) should let you put a 120.
 
The WD Black could go into a 5.25" bay, though that will generally require an adapter purchase. Though with only 1 HDD, why didn't you buy a Define S?
 
So options:
Option 1 - http://i.imgur.com/41o9VxK.jpg
Option 2+2.5 - http://i.imgur.com/1sDWC6H.jpg (Best picture I found, ignore the AIO and imagine a rear exhaust fan. Also you could open up a little more airflow by just using the 5.25" bay for your WD Black.)
 
There are other options, but these two are the most worth mentioning.

I have a 247-year degree in Computer Science and Engineering, an xbone, and a $99999.99 PC.
 
Using my 247 years of experience I can tell you that consoles are much better than a $99999.99 PC. Here's why:
 
Consoles are made for gaming and therefore use AMD's SuperAPU technology that runs off of the new figi chipset. This allows the CPU/GPU combo (more commonly known as the APU) to be soldered directly to the motherboard, instead of having to use a socket. While this does make them non-upgradeable it makes it much more powerful than a socketed APU. A single $100 figi SuperAPU can outperform a $999999.99 5960X/TitanX combo because it much cheaper to produce. Using the figi chipset, SuperAPUs can also take advantage of DDR15 RAM, which is much more powerful than the platform that modern intel CPUs use, which is DDR4. A single gig of DDR15 performs as good as 128 gigs of DDR4, and is also really cheap to produce, which is another reason that makes consoles cheaper than PCs. Consoles' storage is also better than PCs because the fastest data transfer standard on PCs is NVME, while consoles use the xXxXxXxMountainDewAndDoritosxXxXxXxXx standard, which is much faster, allowing read and write speeds of up to 9999999 d/s (doritos per second).
 
Also, PC gamers say that PC gaming is cheaper because their servers for multiplayer are free to play on. That is because they are based off of outdated PC architecture. Xbox live servers are also based off of the figi SuperAPU technology and the xXxXxXxMountainDewAndDoritosxXxXxXxXx standard, which makes them much faster than PC servers, therefore being a premium service that costs extra money.
 
So, today I will be selling my $9999999.99 PC to buy a lifetime supply of Mountain Dew and Doritos. You can find me on xbox live at xXxMLG_ExploDeD117_420xXx

Neither. Fractal Design Define R5/S

I enjoy rpgs a lot so i guess my suggestion would be
Kingdoms of amalur reckoning : fairly long game if you are into that(kinda like skyrim in third person)
And any souls game: dark souls 1,2 ,demons souls , bloodblorne(ps4 requiered)... And dark souls 3 seems promising when it comes out

Razer Deathadder.

totally insane

i believe the GS version of that is made by seasonic so i would go for that instead of the G2

The computer it's not for me its for a company and im looking for the parts to check prices and specs
 
great idea i might add a 1tb scratch disk

i have 32 gb of ddr4 ram with the 6 core is going to be enough imo and the ecc ram in this case  theres no need for it and theres going to be no overclocking everything is going to run at stock

There's a review here:
 
http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-geforce-gtx-980-ti-strix-review,1.html

Yea especially because the Z97 equivalent of that board costs over 200$ witch is what it was priced at when it first came out.
https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97prowifiac
  Ram clock speed does very little to anything and the gains are not really noticed at all.
 
Damn that lack of the freesync usage kills me.
 
The drive I suggested can Read/Write CD's, DVD's, and Blu-Ray all for 15$ there is no need for super pricy 80$ optical drives as they do nothing more than their budget equivalents.
  Just make sure the reviews on it don't suck before dropping your cash on one.
 
Your welcome, happy future building.

Okay this is my suggestion so sit down and take a listen I'm going to go through everything for you.PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Let's start of with that CPU:
-solid choice and good thinking.
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($279.99 @ Micro Center)
CPU cooler:
-it's the cream of the cream but you best be overclocking to justify it's price.
Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($89.99 @ Mwave)
Motherboard:
-Asus has the most user friendly bios, for thoes who have never overclocked before, this board is also the very top of there multi purpose/non specialty line. Also dual channel on board WiFi for the win.
Asus Z87-Pro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($84.99 @ NCIX US)
Ram:
-Its ram, you can't change anything so cheapest per GB of the best thing way to go, it's also low latency witch don't really matter, but it is low profile so it's guaranteed to work with that massive CPU cooler.
Mushkin Stealth 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Storage:
-Get yourself hooked up with the absolute best SSD and HDD for all that data transfer speed and reliability.
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($97.99 @ Amazon)
Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($70.89 @ OutletPC)
Case:
-good choice my friend
Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($118.99 @ SuperBiiz)
PSU:
-850 watts fully modular made by seasonic it is more then enough but if you plan to add another 980ti later and overclock the CPU and a little on the GPU I would go up to something over 900 watts.
EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($104.99 @ NCIX US)
Optical drive:
-no one uses them, but the one you had made me say what the fuck, that thing has the same capabilities of a 15$ drive but costs 80$ for some crazy reason.
Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($14.98 @ OutletPC)
Moniter:
- This thing is the identical panel that you choes originally except this one is 80$ cheaper because it does not have fresync, witch you wouldn't be using anyway, because for some reason you love nvidia.
LG 34UM65 60Hz 34.0" Monitor ($584.99 @ Best Buy)
Keyboard:
-nice choice with the cherry MX Browns I'm a red lover personally. It's all preference, have you tried the different switches because if not I would suggest you stop by somewhere that has a demo of the different feel of each one.
Logitech G710 Wired Gaming Keyboard ($95.79 @ Amazon)
GPU:
-I wouldnt feel comfortable getting a GPU right as it releases, I personally would wait 2-3 weeks until you can get others feed back on it.
GTX 980ti STRIX ($740.00)
Total: $2368.58
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Overall input:
-it has a gold motherboard and a red GPU, I call it Iron Man.

mate if your pushing 400watts of TDP, you will want more airflow

It shouldn't be needed with the R5. Case fans can always be added later as with your current cooling solution and case shouldn't have a problem.
 
Depends on room temp but I can say that they won't be overheating. Might be a little warm depending on how restrictive airflow is. 

So I've seen a lot of post about the 970 today and i was wondering which brand has the best 980ti out there.

$1527, I dropped to 8GB (2x4GB) to squeeze in a bigger widescreen:
 
Just a comparative build, SLI ready:
