WD black edition drives are a bit expensive and at the end of the day are just a mechanical HDD, grab any cheaper 2TB+ HDD.

1600W PSU is OTT unless you are planning on adding more GTX980s?

Why two SSDs?

hows water cooling sound i posted any case you would advice for the setup?

stulid · 5 Nov 2014 at 20:22

You might want to ask in the water cooling forum about that.

As for cases then this takes a lot of parts - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-004-PT&groupid=2362&catid=2674
