VR Testing Build

[aeroencychris]

Hey all,

I'm fairly comfortable with making a parts list at this point but I figured I'd run this by you all just to get your thoughts before I drop over $1000 on this for a VR rig. Keep in mind I'm using a spare Pi 2 to control the RGB LED strip so don't worry about that for now. Kept the color theme black and white so the LEDs can add all the color. SLI mobo and 650W PSU were to add another GTX 1070 down the line. Thoughts?

You don't need a CPU cooler, or a Z170 MoBo for a locked i5. 

I know but a) looks better and b) just in case.

As for the mobo it was the cheapest SLI board anyways
