My Build Thoughts?

CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K. 
COOLER: EK Predator 240 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler. 
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti Strix 6GB. 
GPU: ASUS GeFroce GTX 980 Ti Strix 6GB. 
HDD: Western Digital WD Black 4TB. 
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro Series 500GB SSD. 
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB 3200MHz DDR4. 
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA Platinum 1200W. 
DVD: ASUS DVD Writer.

So What do you think of the build. 

 

My Thoughts:

1. Getting a Corsair Power Supply so I can use Cable Mod for Red and Black Cables.

2. Getting Red LED Strips.

 

Btw I do have steam so if anyone wants to add me on steam go for it!

If price is not an issue, which it appears to not be, then yes an AX1200i will look dank with cable mod cables.

 

Also please post a build log in the build log category. I'd like to see this come together.

for how much you're paying for that (obviously overpriced) motherboard and cpu you can get an 5820k and a x99 motherboard which will outperform the skylake i7 by quite a margin

also, i'd get a normal 4tb hdd like a wd blue or any other seagate. it's not like you'd feel the performance improvement and i heard that the black drives are quite noisy

More cores will help you if you plan on editing. Also the 5820k has more lanes and it gets rid of any bottleneck for your 2 980ti's.

But I would like a 6700k because the performance is great. and I have seen the benchmarks on the 6700k and the 5820k and the 6700k wins. but idk about my GPU's.

The 5820k should outperform the 6700k in most computing benchmarks, but the 6700k has better single core performance so it is probably better in  gaming. But for rendering and editing the 5820k almost always takes the cake. GPUs are probably the best now unless you wanna spend 350 more for a titan x.
