Why?
I built my first computer 6 years ago and I expected to make upgrades to it before replacing it. However, I made some errors with the build (cheaping out on motherboard, case fitting didn't work properly) which has made me decide to build fresh instead of upgrading now.
Use Case:
Most strenuous uses will be virtualization, VR Gaming, streaming, and some AI/Deep Learning. I like to avoid overclocking in order to save on electricity and avoid reducing the lifetime of the components.
Monitors:
On top of this, it will need to support 1 4k monitor and 2 1080p monitors.
Budget:
Budget is not a large concern but I would like to avoid spending money on stuff I won't need.
Parts:
With that in mind. Here is the parts list:

On cooling/Cases:
I would also like to build it a bit more quiet. So I'm wondering if this case is sufficient and what the best options would be for fans/coolers/thermal paste? I'm not sure if I want to drop $200 on a case because, with my last build, I did just that and the motherboard had to be bent a bit to fit. I do not care about how the case looks. It all comes down to air flow, east of management, and noise containment.
