So I posted my current setup below but I did chance to a 1070 graphics card and I have a benq 144hz monitor now I'm for sure going to get another 1070 and run them in sli but along with that upgrade I want to upgrade my cpu ram motherboard and case. 

 

The case not really looking for any different ones but opinions on whether or not I should get it are welcome

The processor from what I understand its a really good one and has a good price.

The end goal is to run ddr4 ram in quad channel with sli capable motherboard and have everything be pretty good in terms of how long it will last.

 

This is the motherboard I was looking at but the ddr4 3866 ram I was going to get only comes with 4gbx2 sticks and I want at least 16gb but the motherboard is dual channel maybe its not as big of a deal to have 3866 ram or the facts its dual channel and not quad. I just don't want to spend a ton of money currently I have 1200$ but I wouldn't mind spending upwards to 2000$ if it was worth it.

Personal Preference/Opinion Incoming

 

Can't Stand the case for non-baller rigs. case needs to be modded and fully watercooled to not just look like money was dumped on components.

This I think is a cleaner/similar Case but again pure opinion.

CPU it is what it is nothing else competes in that slot.

 

Ram Speed doesn't really matter go for size then looks. Timing matters to some people but never seen anything significant.

 

Nothing wrong with the motherboard. Again at this point motherboards are mostly just personal preference.

 

I do though looking through all of the stuff you have and are buying that there is a disturbing lack of SSD storage outside the 128GB boot drive.

 

And last. At this price point why not x99 and a single 1080?

that is a high price for the 6700k.  i usually see it for $299.99 or even lower so look at some other websites before purchasing it

x99 motherboard I'm not sure the difference in many of the motherboards? So your saying I shouldn't get the other case unless it has everything and looks like the shit? I would understand that. For the single 1080 from what I've heard its only in the range of like 10% faster than the 1070 and I already have one 1070 so if I were to buy a 1080 using sli wouldn't work or isn't the best thing to do from what I've heard

The crystal series case I just find SUPER impractical as you cant actually handle it by 4 of the 6 sides all so that you can see the fans on the front and top. Like I said though purely opinion nothing wrong with the case.

 

x99 would be a chipset improvement for only a slight premium over what you are already paying. About $40 on the motherboard $0-$200 on the CPU for double the ram slots and significantly more PCI lanes that you could easily use if you go SLI.

 

Didn't read well enough I guess to notice you already have a 1070. Just remember that it only does something if the program you are using is made to make use of SLI and often it will just sit there a look pretty.

Any recommendations for a x99 motherboard and from what I see ill need a different processor? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117649 ? And with this I should go for 32gb of ram over faster speeds on the ram? And my last question would be should I get a new ssd? Yes currently I have like 4 gb of space left and I don't really know why but what size? And for the case I'm not super on board with the hexes so what about this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139055&cm_re=corsair-_-11-139-055-_-Product ?

for the SSD I would just grab like a 1TB Mushkin or somthing basically any brand you trust. No need to get anything to expensive for storage as the speed changes are negligible in my opinion. about $150 for 500GB of storage or $300 for 1TB

 

as for the X99 cpus it would be like a 6800k or 6900k depending on what you want. 6800 is less speed per thread than the 6700 but has 12 threads instead of 8. but again you get the PCIE lanes for stuff like your m.2 slots and other add-ons since you will be using probably all 16 lanes for SLI. Unless my memory does not serve me correct. You could then get a m.2 SSD that uses your extra PCIE lanes for super ridiculous speed storage.
