So, today I finally finished my new build. I would love to have some honest feedback! Specs and pictures are below.

 

Case: Corsair High Airflow 540 (It's Cube-iful)

CPU: i7 6700K 

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Formula 

GPU: EVGA 980 TI SC w/Stock cooler (Now featuring a sexy new backplate!)

RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB (2x8) 

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX

PSU: Corsair HX1000i (Yes, overkill, but I couldn't resist.)

SSD: Samsung 950 Pro M.2 256 GB

HD: Western Digital Black 1 TB

Fan Controller: NZXT Sentry Mix 2

 

Fan Placement: 3 Corsair AF120's in the front panel, 4 Corsair SP120's on the H100i GTX on the top of the case sporting a push/pull configuration, 1 Corsair AF140 as the rear exhaust.

 

I would have included a picture of the back of the case where the PSU lies . . . but I thought I would spare you the horror of seeing what I did to those cables.

very nice, maybe take photos with a camera rather than a nokia (you said be honest ;))

 

Love that Dominator ram! Also have you considered mounting the case on its side? I Love horizontal boards

 

Enjoy that rig!

looks good although i am not a big fan of the case with the parts you purchased personally i would have allocated a little more to a prettier case but other than that it looks good

Haha! I actually have an S6 Edge, it's just the glass frame for the camera lens is busted. Gotta get a new one soon. Also, I haven't considered that, although it sounds extremely intriguing . . . one problem though, the fan for the PSU would be covered up! D:

Corsair fanboy, eh? :P

Anyway, are you planning SLI in the future for that beast?

I guess you could say that . . . just went with what I had read was the best! And actually I could potentially SLI another TI, but I'm not too sure I'd need to for a bit.
