Micro ATX Gaming Beast

I'm planning to completely overhaul my PC while I have the available money going to be mix of video editing and gaming.

i7 5960X
Corsair H100i
ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer Micro ATX
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 32GB (4 x 8GB) 2400MHz
Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD
GTX 970
Corsair Air 240
EVGA P2 750W

That is what I'm planning to get along with the Asus PG279Q. I will be replacing the 970 in that build with a Titan Pascal when they launch. I know it's bit of an odd move stick with Micro ATX for a X99 build but think it can work.

Only thing i'm debating at moment is if to use Haswell-E or wait for Broadwell-E.

Edit removed link.

I would remove the link as it has a lot of competitors on, just copy/paste the spec

Done didn't think of that to be honest lol.

Wish I trusted myself do a proper water cooling set but I don't sadly. Think this build needs a true water cooling set up in it to get most out of it.

Did some serious thinking today and I'm switching to a Air 540.

That's probably for the best, as much as I like Bitfenix cases their interior design is not the greatest.

I loved the air 540. Great case, a touch fiddly but was a dream to work with.

As you're doing video editing, you might want to check out the new E5 v4 Xeons.
