Starting the build with simple base components with hopes to mod in the future. Sorry for picture quality, don't have a real good place to take photos. Hope you enjoy.

Do you mean 2x8GB for the Trident Z?

 

Also, I love the look of those DIMM' s.

I think you build is gonna end up looking awesome! Do you plan to get another graphic card in the future (because you a have nice power supply). What is the main purpose of this PC? Gaming? 

Thanks for the kind words man! The main point of this build is to serve as kind of a starting point for an epic PC down the line. I want a PC that is powerful but doesn't pressure me to spend extra money on bells and whistles. So with that being said. This build will have maximum potential for upgrades later down the line. I don't have a specific plan on what I want to do with it yet but I am looking towards the dual GPU custom loop route. I do game a lot but I am going to school for a hardware engineer course so I do plan on using this build as a test platform for overclocking and what not. (which is why I am going 6700k skylake.) Thanks again for the reply!
