Go with four 4gb sticks instead of two 8gb sticks. 

I'd also go with the Enthoo Primo instead of the 900D. 

 

/and go with a cheaper/better looking board....but yeah...you like the Rampage V.

X99 supports quad channel, which will yield some benefits for any memory intensive tasks (like rendering).

The Enthoo Primo isn't what I would call small, and it usually looked at as the 300D's competition.

Too much red. MSI X99 Krait and Asus X99-Pro look much better :)
