Opinions on this build?

Must have gaming and workstation capabilities, will be using mostly for gaming (70% game 30% content creation)

Must have peripherals: ONLY ultra-wide (21:9) monitors, mechanical keyboard (Cherry MX blues, blacks, or browns) with back-lighting matching scheme

Must have a color scheme, in my build I have a Black/White scheme with exception of the mouse,note I am paying to make a good looking PC setup

Must have OS

Price can't exceed $2100, unless it's truly worth above the $2100 budget I'll have to look into more detail

Workspace

Currently I only have 34"x16.5" deskspace, I can place the PC below and have just peripherals on top, I'll probably add in a cheap 30"x12" black extended mouse pad.

Notes

I will be upgrading RAM and may consider SLI after I have used this PC for about 2-3 years. I just need a good lasting PC for myself to game but also work on like blender renders, some video editing, photogrammetry, and a lot with Unreal Engine. I will overclock the CPU here and there, but not often (as in probably 2-3 times a week lol) but with the G1 980 Ti I'm definitely overclocking and I don't mind fan noise as long as it's not freakishly loud. This is like the fourth thread about this build and I just want to ensure that I'm set or if there are any better tweaks that can be made to this build. This PC will be purchased March 2016 so prices of parts may drop. Please make sure that if you add or switch anything that it's matching the black/white color scheme, LED's makes the PC look good, again I'm paying for how sexy this thing is gonna look. With the 25UM57-P monitor that I selected, is under $200, and yes 60hz which I don't mind, but I do want vibrant color accuracy which is why it's an IPS display and an OK 5ms response time G-sync isn't a must. If there is a better ultra-wide monitor that isn't gonna break this budget let me know, note I do pay attention to it's specs.

If you can't find anything else to tweak on this build, say that it's the best build that suits my needs because confidence boosters are nice lol, especially since this will be my first start from bone build. I've seen the insides of PC's and completely understand how they work. Only thing I worry about is BIOS because I have 0 experience with that and I've seen BIOS but with different motherboards, so if you can tell me what I need to tweak in the BIOS that will be the best configuration for me. I hardly understand a RAID configuration, so I don't wanna mess anything up if don't set certain settings off/on, etc.

Summed up questions:

Is this processor best for my needs and conditions?

Do I need to tweak anything in the BIOS if I want to overclock my GPU? (not often overclocking for CPU)

Overall does this PC look good on the outside? in terms of color scheme and LED lighting (with exception of Logitech mouse)
