Just get a nice cooler for your 4790k, over clock the crap out of it, grab another 980ti hybrid, and you'll be set and there's no need to build a new system.

No mosfet waterblocks made for it though.  EK doesn't want to touch it because it's such a "rare" product.  Plus I recall reading the BIOS support isn't as good as on the RVE because Asus neglects it.

it is rare indeed I understand EK

however I don't really see a need for a water block, if you're doing some crazy OC then get XPOWER from MSI and go LN2

 

what I don't understand is the very conservative nature of ASUS and their attitude towards their products

So what I'm gathering is that my system is actually okay? Wow, I figured Haswell was on its way out. Thought I was getting left behind already. I didn't know there were some refreshes on the horizon for X99/Z170, so I guess I can bide my time. Thank you all for weighing in, it truly means a lot!
