If you wanted to get such a high overclock, I would have personally picked a different motherboard... but I guess it's too late. How far you can overclock relies heavily on the silicon lottery.

 

What RAID are you putting your HDDs in? If you're doing RAID 0, don't do it because you're only increasing the chances of data failure. Also, those drives are intended for NAS builds so I'd go for a different HDD if this is a conventional gaming build.

 

Get a G-Sync monitor instead like the Acer XB271HU or the ASUS PG279Q. You won't regret it.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I make suggestions:

1. Do you need 2 144hz monitors? You cant play on both at once? Maybe go one 4k and then keep a 144hz? Would make sense for 4k gaming and for any video production in the future which you are capable of.

2. The DVD writer is a rip off. Get some cheap crappy thing or maybe an external one?

3. Have you looked at the Darkbase pro 900. I know you have bought the case, maybe you could send it back? IDK? The darkbase inverts and looks fresh compared to the corsair.

4. Do you really need a platinum rated power supply? Maybe go for a gold.

 

Over then that good pc!

I was going to do one 4k cause it would be cheaper.

true there both just as good and probably a little more cheaper.

That SSD looks a bit underwhelming for your build, I'd certainly get the 850 EVO.
