Skylake Micro ATX build check

Does the below look ok? I already have a PSU I could reuse. I currently I have a 7990 but I am going to guess its not going to fit with the vertical AIO?

Yeah your right, I'll have to replace that with a EK Water Blocks Predator 240.

I think the 7990 might fit by the skin of its teeth its only 11cm tall and it looks to be a 12cm ceiling? I think a reference 970 would fit but any sign of a heatpipe out the top on a custom pcb is going to cause issues :s

Main reasons:
1. X99 = Discontinued/dead
2. 8% better ipc than X99
3. More than 8 threads isn't useful to me, I don't encode videos etc.
4. The possibility to drop in Skylake-e in a year or two or perhaps a xeon further down the line like I have done with my current x58.

There are going to be no new chips so i would argue it is. Still plenty of life in it but there is no future or upgrades.
