I love the CM 212 line. If you don't mind those giant-type heatsink air coolers, and you have good cable management and air flow, it'll go far for cheap.

I'd remove the over-abundance of fans and get a better CPU cooler. The 212 really can't handle a 5930k. Get... say... Raijintek Triton. Great performance, great price, and best upgrade path out of the AIOs.

 

But the rest looks really solid. Make sure that your programs use the CPU more than GPU. If they use the CPU more, change the build to an i7-4770k + 2x GTX 970s. Maybe even get the Titan X, you'll be able to afford it (again, depends on your particular programs).

Gaming or workstation

I was thinking about that. You should get a bigger cooler. Like one from noctua

Yup, hence the request for more specific knowledge on what he means by that. "Content creation"can go anywhere from rendering, to photoshop, to 3d animation... and much more.

Well, considering he said "heavy", I'd assume that it isnt photoshop.

I like this better, slightly more but worth it. In regards to your Rosewill Capstone 750W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply, don't do it. I had a Rosewill PSU and it just turned off on me after about 2 years compared to a 5 year old Corsair that's still working like day 1.

The Rosewill Capstone is a very good PSU. You probably had one of the lesser Rosewill units with a different OEM.

@dguz25,

 

I would suggest eliminating the extra fans and putting the saving towards a GTX 980.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

change the cooler to something like the nepton 120XL.

I don't think you need all those fans... but I guess its your money.

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?
