Wrong link.

 

You want the permalink on top of the build parts list.

You posted the wrong link~ You need to copy the permalink look something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VpQ3Vn

Also... are you only going to games and dont do any heavy video editing or rendering? Do keyboard and mouse count on that 2000$ budget too?

And dont set in stone the 980TI yet. Since GTX 1070 and 1080 are expected to be reveal in about 4 days.

i corrected for the permalink, ill be doing games but no plans for rendering or editing, and yes keyboard and mouse count towards budget.... and I have no clue what to expect from gtx 1070 or 1080

Pretty solid build.

 

Do you have a HDD that you can use for mass storage?

no id have to add it to the build ... this build was just a little online research i feel like im missing something or maybe i should water cool

Nah, I wouldn't worry about water cooling.

 

Just grab a WD Caviar Blue and you're set.

Everything seem pretty decent to me. If you are planning to go for black-white theme how about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127902

And well... we dont know anything about 1070 and 1080 yet, but it's only 4 more days, I'd suggest you wait for it. Especially because if 1070 and 1080 is out soon the price of 970,980 and 980Ti will probably drop too, so even if the performance of 1080 is not much better than 980Ti, you can still get a 980Ti for cheaper. 

You do miss an HDD. If you decided to do full water cooling, you might want to get a stock fan GTX 980Ti instead since those stock fan is easier to remove to install waterblock. But before you do any of that, let me remind you that watercooling is pretty useless unless you plan to heavily overclock your CPU and GPU. Even moderate to high overclock can be done just fine on the i7 6700k and GTX 980Ti since they are both quite cool by default and their fans should already be enough.
