You are getting a Z170 board and custom water cooling and you don't have a K-series processor?

-Grab a 6600K instead and get a 980Ti

-32GB is overkill. Gaming only requires 8GB of RAM

-Get a cheaper PSU. 850W is overkill

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

There is no need for a motherboard that supports overclocking and a liquid cooler if you are not overclocking the cpu.

i5 4690k | MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G | Swiftech H240-X | MSI Z97s SLI Krait Edition | Corsair Vengeance Pro 8gb ( 2x4gb ) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 850EVO 250gb SSD & WD Caviar Blue 1tb HDD | Fractal Design Define R5

IMO You gain very little over an AIO for water cooling, unless your plan is to add the gpu/mobo to the loop or overclocking.

OTher : EVGA x58 Classified3, Xeon x5679 @ 4.2, 12gb kingston HyperX fury, 2x Evga GTX 670, Adata sp550 120gb, 2x WD 2tb, Corsair Graphite Series 230T, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asus VG236H

  • Obsidian Series® 250D Mini ITX PC Case <---------- personally i hate small cases, i can stand for mid-tower though, but if you're going full custom loop, why not get a window panel to show off your swag.
  • Intel Core i7-6700 <----------- get 6700K
  • PNY GeForce GTX 980 4GB Video Card <------------------- might as well just get a 980ti
  • EVGA Z170 Stinger Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard 
  • G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory <---------------- unless you get a good sale, you only need 8gb
  • Corsair 850W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply <------------------ so overkill 
  • Koolance RP-1005 Reservoir and Pump - Black (No Nozzles) 
  • EK-Supremacy EVO
  • EK-CoolStream SE 240 (Slim Dual)
  • TUBE PrimoChill PrimoFlex™ Advanced LRT™ 15,9 / 9,5mm - Pearl UV Green 
  • Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5 
  • Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB

ill probably do the 6700k and the mobo i got mainly for color i plan on tinkering with overclocking soon. The 980 i mainly want a ref card just because of where its placed not sure how cooling will be there, would love to add to the loop but have to see how much room.  there is i guess i could save some money and get 16gb ram

750W should be plenty. Currently in my head I'm imagining my 760T crushing that 250D like it was a tiny baby. WAHHHHHHHHHHH

Tell me about it. Over the 3-4 weeks before I finally got the money to buy my PC, i rebuilt it so many times I lost count. But get what you want dude, in the end it's all yours and no one else's to talk shit about. People here has anything ranging from godlike quad SLI rigs to scrapyard type machines. Anything goes as long as it works.

I can't comment on the reservoir questions as I don't do custom water cooling, but the other components look solid. I myself am fond of the Intel 730 480GB series for my main SSD, but to each his own. I think it's a good build; you wanted to go crazy and I think you did just fine.
