Hi W33dnhit,

Case:  Good Case, if fact i just had a email from Nzxt offering me a discount on the h440, looks like a solid case and the full clear side panel will show off led lighting to great effect, the MOBO, the noctua nh-15 CPU cooler, the GPU and your cable management!

 

Motherboard: Can't complain about the MOBO, the Asus ROG maximus viii hero is a good high end board. I prefer MSI boards as i just like their BIOS better.

The Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming G1 is a super MOBO, but the price is high.

 

Processor: intel i5 6600k, Great choice for gaming and easy to overclock if you wish to.

 

Graphics: MSI Nvidia gtx 980 4GB, while not the best GPU available atm, it is still a great card, do you currently own one? If so go ahead and try it out, I also have the MSI GTX 980 on my current rig and it does the job for me, my pc is a home theater media pc, connected to a TV via HDMI 2.0 and a AOC G2460PG 24 inch 144 Hz G-SYNC LED Monitor on the coffee table, with the power and the Display Port cable running under the floor rug. combined with a wireless Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Desktop - Combo and a more easier to use as a tv browser input device a All-in-One Media Keyboard, both work fine off one wifi/bluetooth usb receiver.

Sorry wee rant :) But ya go with the GTX 980 if you have it, The GTX 1080 is a way better, but still pricy. RAM: Corsair vengeance lpx ddr4 2666mhz 16gb

 

RAM: Corsair vengeance lpx ddr4 2666mhz 16gb Did you compare to the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4.

 

Power: corsair hx750i Good choice not bad reviews, try also the PSU masters the. SeaSonic Snow Silent 750 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM

Cost twice as much i know and is probably way over the top for a average 350 to 400 watt requirement.

But a 7 year no fee return or replacement policy is also a good investment, as i have returned parts and was given courrier free tickets and had parts replaced repaired or replaced to cost on my part.

I do not recommend the SeaSonic Snow Silent 750 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM as your PSU, but they also offer the 7 year warranty on their PSU in the Platinum range.

If you need a 750W PSU, are going SLI? have you manny power devices on the usb 3.0 or 3.1 or thunderbolt 3? if you need extra power the the above SeaSonic Snow Silent 750 will be a good value.

 

Samsung ssd 256 gb: Are you MAD? Look at the Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. this and Intel pcl3 are the newest and best boot drives.

M.2 slot or better 2x M.2 connections on the MOBO are better. You also have sata 3 to connect to ssd or HDD drives.
