Planned Multipurpose Build

[DoctorDan]

Alright hey guys! So I've made a couple of posts in the past with my planned build but a few things always get in my way and make me change it, the most recent one being computex 2016. But hey! Here we go!

(Disclaimer the GTX 1080 FE currently in the video card spot is simply a place holder until the ASUS GTX 1080 strix is released) 

Parts list:

Now here's the thing, this will be a gaming, editing, and music workstation. So if you believe the RAM or any other parts are in need of a change let me know. But one thing I'd also like to keep in mind is I want this to look good as several of the parts I will be getting are RGB lighted, so if you believe anything is in need of color coordination also let me know. If you have a personal hardware preference that you believe in and it is better than what I have also let me know as I rather go with reliability through tested and true than some random reviews. 

 

Additional note: If you believe you know of a monitor that is better for my described work or simply one that is better but still not too expensive please let me know.

Yea, one thing I would prefer in a motherboard is the onboard 802.11 as I'm often out of reach of any Ethernet cable tied into a home network. I also am very fond of the plethora of USB on the back as well as the amount of SATA ports, orientation of the front USB 3 header, RGB onboard, as well as RGB header. This Mobo was both a functionality and design choice for me.
