I am upgrading from a PC I built in late 2009 centered around the i7 920/ gtx 480.

The purpose of this PC is to eat everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. (GAMING)

I would like to hear all of your suggestions on how I can improve this build, especially suggestions on DDR4 ram and motherboard/ cooling etc.

Here is the bulk of my build; http://pcpartpicker.com/list/3KycTH

Thank you.

Why would you even buy that big of a case for it to look so empty..

What's your budget in usd?

The 900d is a MASSIVE case, The 750d is pretty much the same thing, But smaller & more practical (You can still easily fit 2 gpu's in it)

My suggestion for ram.

I wouldn't get the 'founders edition' of the 1080, http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/gtx1080/ Use this page to check for 1080 availability.

Everything else in the build looks fine.

I'm going for the biggest/ baddest case I could find for future builds and expansions/ upgrades later etc.

I forgot to add that I am waiting for the GTX 1080 Classified to be released, just added the Founders Edition for price reference.

IfI could build I would do this.

White sleeved cables.
Probably purple LED strips + purple led on ram + purple kraken
Then again would be LEDs so I could change all of them and it be fine ;)

My bad, I'm trying to keep it under $3000 but would be willing to spend more if its worth it.

Go on kinguin for Windows 10 only 30 bucks. This will blast any game you want for a long time.
