This is my first PC Build ever. And it's a big one

 

it costs around 5000 US Dollars. And it's going to take my a while to build.

Due to budget and the modifications that i want to do to the case, memory, SSDs and video cards.

 

Below is a list whit what i want to use:

Case: NZXT H440 Razer Edition

Power Supply: Corsair AX1200i

Motherboard: ASUS X99-E WS, Socket 2011-V3

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-5930K, 3.50GHz, Haswell, 15MB, Socket 2011-V3, Box

Video Card: 2 x GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 G1 GAMING, 4GB, DDR5 256-bit

Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB(4x8GB) DDR4, 2666MHz, CL16, Quad Channel Kit

Storage: WD Black, 4TB, SATA-III, 7200RPM, 64MB

Storage: 2 x SSD Intel 730 Series, 2.5" 240GB, SATA-III

Cooling: Cooler Master Nepton 240M

Cooling: 4 x BitFenix Spectre Pro, 140mm, Green LED

Monitor: Acer 27'', Wide, Full HD, DVI, screen rezolution 1920x1080

 

The modification that i want to do are:

Case - put some holes in it for better air flow

Video Cards - paint the lights green

Memory - paint it like Linus did

Storage - paint the SSDs black

 

I want to know if the components i chose are compatible,

And what do you think should i do it or change something or.....??

​Love to hear your thoughts.

Here, a 1k to spare. Paint this ram's heatsinks green, put noctuas on the enermax cooler or get a custom loop

Nice. But there are some things that I don't like.

1. Your case has better air flow but it's white and I don't like the design.

2. The motherboard and video card are Black and yellow not black and green.

When it comes to the RAZER theme I want to stay with it at much as possible.

Still 1K to spare it's something to think about.

At this budget I think a custom water cooling loop is the right thing to do.If  you are new to it go to youtube,there are tons of videos that could help you,or you could go to the forum's water cooling section.Also you could get a water cooling kit.
