Just ordered new parts

Well, after many hours trawling through threads and getting help and info from everyone on here, I have ordered all my parts for OCUK.

I was going to get them to build it but having built all my old pcs, and having the hassle of parts not in stock, etc., I have decided that I will build it myself.
The only thing I am uncertain about is the cables for the PSU. The EVGA ones look quite nice but I don't know whether it will be worth buying the cablemod set for the G2 PSU.
It is out of stock but I could build up the pc then see what I think I suppose.

The final spec is:
My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe Solid State Drive (MZVPV512HDGL-00000)= £239.99
1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti Superclocked ACX 2.0+ 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (06G-P4-4993-KR)= £529.99
1 x EVGA SuperNova G2 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply= £104.99
1 x Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Full Tower Case - Black= £119.99
1 x Avexir Core White Series 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit (AVD4UZ124001608G-4= £149.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H110i GT 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060019-WW)= £91.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 10 32/64-Bit - USB Pen Drive - Retail (KW9-00017)= £89.99
1 x Asus X99 Deluxe/USB3.1 Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £314.99
1 x Intel i7-5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - Retail (BX80648I75820K)= £299.99
1 x Seagate 3TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (ST3000DM001)= £69.95

Total: £2,027.76
(includes shipping: £15.90)

I was looking at straight black so I suppose if the cables with the pay are braided black then there wouldn't be much point. I also think that the black and white set might look a bit naff with my very limited skills!

Not bad, curious as to why you've gone black and white though when your case is black and red. It'll all still look awesome though.

As for the cablemod cables it's really up to you, If you think the looks are worth the money go for it.

The Luxe is able to cycle through 10 colours on the LED so you can have a white light.

I think that when the psu arrives then I will see how flexible the cables are. As long as they can be routed well then that will be good.

Can't wait to play my games with everything turned up to max. I've spent a long time getting my butt kicked online!

I am now eagerly awaiting the delivery for Monday and have been doing the usual child on Christmas eve act of looking at specs, etc.
One question I have is whether to use the fan control of the cse or the mobo? The Asus deluxe comes with a fan controller as does the Enthoo Luxe. Any suggestions which would be best?

Bits arrived just now. Unfortunately I'm at work so can't unbox until later today. I will put up some pics of my build as I have a go putting everything together. I am paricuarly inerested inseeing the Enthoo Luxe in the flesh.
