Do you have a specific reason to go X99? If not you'll get much better everyday use out of a Skylake CPU for the same pricepoint.

Also the HDD you picked is for NAS drives, if you want Seagate pick a Barracuda model

i7 6700K + any Z170 chipset motherboard with m.2 slots for that SSD that you already have. If you're planning on SLI then youll probably need a full size ATX board to handle it. Takes about $100-$200 off the price. 32GB of RAM is way overkill as well. Pick up a basic 16GB kit and half the price of that.
