Would go X99 5820x build.

The Corsair CX range of PSUs are not advisable for high-end gaming rigs. A SuperFlower Gold/EVGA G2/P2 or Seasonic Gold would be better choices. With a 980Ti - 550-650W for single GPU, 850-1000W for SLI.

With that case, you can fit a 280mm AIO that will cool even better.

Avexir Core red led RAM may suit that build nicely.

Builds fine but I totally "lol" at skylakes 6700k pricing. It's 50% too much.

X99 at that price definitely.

X99 has quad memory channel unlike Skylake (dual). It'll run dual too, just wonder if it'd be best to get four sticks from the get go, to make sure they are perfectly matched (not just in looks). Still not sure how important this is in reality, but that's the common advice.

better psu and nicer case if it was me buying.

Looks good, would go for something like the Phanteks Luxe though, great case and fantastic to build into.
