Thank you to Be Quiet for your support with K. Honourable mentions to B Negative, JR23 and TPC.
My builds always have a random way of being put into action, it always starts late at night during a gaming session where ideas are thrown into the air and something plausible comes to light, this build is no different. I needed a system which would cater to my needs at home and would allow me to game, video edit, photo edit and for those days where you just want to browse the internet. In order to perform all these tasks in a swift manor and in silence would require higher end components coupled with ample water cooling housed in a case which is aesthetically pleasing at all angles.
Deciding on the hardware its self was very straight forward, with the recent release of Broadwell-E it was only natural to build this around the X99 platform, but keeping away from what seems to be RGB insanity was difficult, most manufacturers have seemed to just jump on the bandwagon severally limiting options but none the less there will be always someone who likes to keep things clean, practical and most importantly neutral.
Specifications:
Intel i7-6850K
EVGA X99 FTW-K
GSkill Trident Z DDR4

It was now down to JR to design me case which fitted my needs with the hardware decided and in my possession we weighed up the pros and cons of particular details and this is what was finalised on.
