Can't help with watercooling.

If you want silver and are going with X99, I would definitely wait for this motherboard: https://www.techpowerup.com/222934/msi-x99a-xpower-gaming-titanium-motherboard-pictured

For the total money you are spending, you are only getting a VA monitor at 60Hz (I think). 1 x 1080 and a quality IPS Gsync 100+ Hz monitor would provide a better experience than the 2 x 1080 and that VA 60Hz.

But then you also have a Philips 4K so I'm confused about what's for what.

I like the look of that Motherboard :) Release Date?

I play Racing Games hence the big monitor. The 32" is 1440p and the 40" is for my Xbox One console So it would be ok but by all means what things do you have in mind?

Ah I see.

One of these:

That one can do ~100Hz. Or if you don't need more than 60Hz for the games you play, maybe this:

Both have wider resolution and are curved, imagine racing would be even more immersive but recognize that monitors are a subjective experience to a great extent.

But if you really need a separate one for the XBOX, I don't know, as the price is hefty. Then again could always start off with a single 1080.

In any case, also check out the newer 43" Philips 4K IPS:

Is the PC just for gaming? If so, I'd personally say that you'll see little benefit from x99 and would save a lot of money if you went for z170 with a 6700k chip instead. Also, sli 1080s is massive overkill on anything below 4k, so you could save a lot of money there too. I'd also echo what Danny75 said and go for something like the Acer Predator X34A instead of the monitor you have listed, it will be a lot more immersive. How about this for a build?

No the PC is for gaming and YouTube creation so I need it to render videos hence the i7 6900k more cores the better I assume for rendering.

I love the look of Ultra wides but just not a fan my friend has one and he has a letter box effect on most games (games don't utilise the full screen at least for him)

Thanks for your suggestions in terms of video rendering times how much fast would the 10 core be over how ever many cores the 6700k has?
