So after getting some tips and insight from you guys I have pulled the trigger on my build. I'm about to head down to microcenter to pick all this stuff up.

Some things are already purchased(marked). 

 

I decided to get a second graphics card instead of getting a 5960x, considering I don't do a ton of rendering (I do some) I doubt I need those extra 2 cores more than I would enjoy having a second GPU for the ultimate 2k gaming experience.

 

The power supply is a tiny bit overkill, but I really like having a much higher wattage than needed for upgrade flexibility and warm fuzzies.

 

What do you guys think?

He got them for free apparently, but i think they arent good but i would take a free pair. 

I like to kill hardware. In 2016 alone I have killed 20 Xeon 5160, and 10+ Pentium 4.

Out of the 7 different headsets I've had these are by far the best sounding.

I don't like the case, monitors, and your storage set up is a little odd but other than that should be a nice rig.

 

Thought of getting Windows off G2A and getting the free upgrade? Save you a fair bit.

I don't have any activated copies of windows. My current rig actually had a bootlegged windows 7 on it. =X

I tried so many different monitors and my xb271hu is the best 2k monitor (with gsync) on the market. I tried my luck with Asus and the backlight bleed was just so dissatisfying. 

I will admit that the case

IIRC you can use the bootlegged version to upgrade to 10 can't you?

The G2A versions should be "legit" enough to upgrade as well.
