Not too hateful and allows for an 8 core cpu...im still not 100% sold on a watercooler set up though.

If you don't want to do a water cooled setup, then I would go with the Cryorig R1 Ultimate. It's a dual-finstack air cooler that looks gorgeous.

I've lowered the price by grabbing the last gen 5960X (You could probably still get the 6900K), changing the water cooler with an air cooler, getting a cheaper motherboard, and swapping to a 500GB SSD. This also allowed me to fit a 4TB HDD into the mix too, even though it's a little less than you wanted, but it should still be plenty. And everything still fits into a nice black and white color scheme.

I'm comfortable with going up to 3k on the build it will just take a little longer to complete.

yeah I've since re thought it and I think the x99 Sabertooth might be a better option and just add the thunderbolt port to it if I need it later. I'm still fighting the urge to water cool with an AIO as well. I like the reliability of the air cooler but I don't care for the weight hanging on the board. I've just got some fears of leakage with an AIO ruining my system.

This one looks far more reasonable, but I would personally get a better looking cooler since your case has a window. Also, why the downwards facing cooler?

I had picked that cooler due to space concerns.. i have been back and forth on case choice and that one fit all of the cases I was looking at. Although I'm really starting to consider an AIO for aesthetic purposes.
