Gaming, as well as doing some video conversions from MKV to MP4 etc

I would go with the 5820K over the 5930K unless you need the extra pci-e lanes ?

 

The 900D is a huge case. If you are just running a sealed water cooler then it is probably a bit of a waste. Something like a Phanteks Enthoo Pro/Luxe or Fractal R5 etc would do the same job.

 

Motherboard is also pretty expensive. You could go with something cheaper and add a wifi card if you need that function.

 

You should be able to get a cheaper psu such as the Corsair RMx, EVGA P2, XFX XTR etc.

 

Do you need the added features of Win 10 pro ?

If you want a bigger case then look at Caselabs  

 

The RMx is the newer version and it is much better than the RM.

You have SuperFlower PSUs available for you to purchase in singapore. I'd suggest you to not waste that chance and go with them instead.

Pity. But why would you need 1000w for? Pretty wasted unless you intend to SLI your 980 Ti.

Planning to SLI yes, in maybe 2-3 months

Then that explains the 900D. Have you considered waiting for the new generation of cards? 980 Ti is generally not well priced in Singapore.
