could swap the cpu for the Intel i7-5960X Extreme 3.00GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - Retail (BX80648I75960X) that will add £340.00 to the price if its worth it

The SOC Champion is the best X99 board if you want to overclock?

Corsair PSUs (well some of them) do not have as good internals when compared to EVGA G2/P2 or Superflower Leadex.

Theres a black+red version of that case, ditto the cable set for the PSU, but you also need a cable set for that Corsair PSU and not EVGA.

liking the black/red case tbh very nice plus i can use.

i guess this is the cable set i need ?

When running a high power setup I'd sway away from Corsair as Stulid has said. Super Flower Leadex or EVGA P2 is the way to go. SuperFlower doesn't have custom cables yet, but OcUK will be stocking them in 1-2 months time.

You also need quad channel memory for X99, and if you are getting the SOC Champion, it only has 4 RAM slots (over 8 for every other X99 board) so you'd want to get a 4x8gb kit to not have to worry about it ever again.

i honestly like asus tbh, so stick with the rampage mb - ill change the power supply.

anything else ?

... 1600w power supply? How overkill are you going exactly? I think a 4 way Titans (on their own of course) use something like 900W, you don't need 1600W at all, save £100 and get 1200W.

Also in your build the case is Black/Orange, not Black/Red, which I believe is the one you want.

Also I just realised I can't read.

this one is on offer atm what you think ?

what the current MB i have selected may not be right for the m2 ?

No the Gigabyte one, think the ASUS does 4X PCI-E3.0 to the m.2 so is ok.

The Intel 750 PCI-E SSD would work with the Gigabyte ok I am 100% sure about.

do you think the intel drive is better than the samsung sm951

They are in some situations but probably not noticeable side by side apart from benchmarks that test SSD read/writes at various queue depths.

Make sure you pick the right socket fitting for it and select a fan controller to plug the fans into as it will otherwise use up 4 fan headers (one pump and three fans).
