Overkill on ram. Stick to 16gb, if anything buy faster ram.
PSU is serious overkill also, stick with a plat 750/850w seasonic or evga.
Wheres your HDD/ SDD's?
Cheaper mobo's also unless you really like the look of that one or teh discounts that good then w/e.
I like full towers also but unless your filling it maybe just stick with a mid tower. (like custom loop/dual gpu's)

Theres so much money you can save here and there and reinvest it accordingly.

/edit
oh and with that gpu you better get a 2k monitor.

Hi and thank you for the info.

One of the reasons I went overkill was for future proofing. I expect this PC to beast it out for at least 10 years.

For storage, I am deciding between a 960 Pro and 860 Pro. I will also be using a 4TB WD Black HDD for storage/+ those 300 Steam games I play every now and then.

The tower is huge but it's part of the EVGA deal and gives me the comfort of knowing I can throw anything in there without sacrificing airflow/ space.

Your pc wont last 10 years just an fyi.
You'll def need a new gpu around the 5 year mark at max to keep up if anything.
Could just buy more ram then and it'll probably be cheaper.
Less populated ram dimms help with higher oc's in my experience.
