I'll explain my choices.

Case - As you mentioned above, a new glass desk, this lovely glass window side panel would go really well. Its an amazing case too.

Got a black and white theme going, the cables and fans will add to it.

I choose the leadex PSU as the Cable connectors light up white too. Its also the sane as the evga G2 (so very good quality) inside.

SSD wise, I choose the SK due to faster write speeds, though in the real world either that or the mx100 would be great choices.

You know you can get that cpu+board as a bundle?

Black kingston beast RAM to match etc?

I swore blind it wasn't in the bundle options, but yeah you are right.

If He goes with the non windowed Phanteks case, then the Teamgroup is a very good price.
 
quick update,

i went with the x99 build, added in the second graphics card, and got a second ssd and hdd, all the parts should arrive on friday.

thanks everyone for their input on this, you guys should be getting a commission :) if anyone is interested i can maybe do a build log, pics, benchmarks etc. im gona setup the 2x ssd's in raid 0 for a month or so while working out a final config to run long term, looking forward to getting stuck in.

thanks everyone for the help on this. \o
