First and foremost, This will be a business computer and will be getting me through school for the next 3-4 years. I will obviously have money to upgrade later on but I really wanna make this one last. Prefer newest parts possible

I have an Optical drive, ax860I power supply, GTX 980, 2x SSD, 1x 7200rpm HDD already. All I need are the parts below


I can buy this today if needed.
http://pcpartpicker.com/b/HxJV3C I really like this build minus the stuff I don't need, with a new case. Case is ugly but I love the mobo, ram, cpu selection

I am just not sure what ram speed and type would be ideal and I don't know about the new 6th gen i7





Desktop


Budget: $1000

More specific use (what games, what programs): Photoshop and gaming

Planned time until purchase: Today, tomorrow, next weekend. Have cash in my account waiting to be spent

Do you need an Operating System?: NO!

Do you have any specific preferred components?:
i7 CPU
32GB ram <-- I can buy 16gb for now and get the other 16gb in a few weeks. I actually prefer it this way to get better parts right now.
Motherboard With at least 8x USB - prefer usb 3.0
Case - Prefer a cube case but honestly I need something with a lot of space and very well ventilated
Watercooler heatsink

Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No, sound card would be nice tho but I can get this later

Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: May overclock the CPU but prefer not to

Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: None

Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 23451

Oh, I also get a discount from bestbuy so I can always check parts through them as well. My gtx 980 was only $480 brand new when I got it about 6 months ago or so. They do get a nice little discount on most things

This is what I have so far
Still need a case.
The graphics card as just to make sure there is no beef with my current one

Someone recommended me an asrock mobo but I really like asus
I wouldn't mind an MSI I suppose.

I've just been kinda sticking with ratings and reviews at this point

Here's a more cube-looking case. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-air540
The cpu cooler is a great value for the price. You don't seem enthusiastic about overclocking, thus I chose the 212.

I've seen that case before and it's the one that's in the back of my mind for now. I already have a H 100 water cooler. The only stuff I need was listed above I have everything else bringing which is pretty good for now.

Case
Mobo
Cpu
32 gb 2400mhz ram
