What's the system being used for?

Why 2 ssds and such a large case? No mass storage?

[CoolaxGaming]

As woodenmaker said, what is this gonna be used for?

[Colt_0pz]

change gpu to gtx 980, go for nzxt h440, go for 5930k, etc.

First, what are you using the PC for? Gaming? Streaming? Editing? Rendering? Home?

Because it depends what you're doing with your computer

ok so the main use of the pc will be gaming. but the second use will be a bit of Cad not too crazy with it just some basic stuff. 

and the mass storage will be on my NAS so the two SSDs will be in Raid 0 for better speed and backed up every few days.

K, then change GPU to 290x and get a higher q psu

You can't just randomly post "300th post!".

Post something relevant or its spam

Why would the speed from raid 0 be necessary? 

[Guest Strangerbob]

I think theres no monitor in this build ... you know, the most important part.

 

A working gsync/freesync loop build will be about 900x better enjoyment than anything else.

yah i just recently bought 2 24" acer monitors for my desk.

because why not. im spending this much might aswell make read write speeds insane aswell.

No point in going for the 5930K over the 5820K.

If your main use for the pc is gaming, with a bit of CAD work then I would go with an i7 4790K build. 

 

Something along these lines. The psu will handle a 2nd GTX 970.

 

I went with a different case, but everything will also fit in the CM Stryker.

RAid 0 only increases sequential transfer speeds though which isn't really useful unless you're frequently moving large files.
