Hehe yea, but in their pictures of the case with hardware installed they are using a Corsair AX1200 which is 200mm long and it fits :D - also I have seen others mounting 200-225mm length psu's in that case without issues.
My current Thernaltake is 225mm and it fit in the CM690 which only 'fits' 165mm PSUs if you want to use the bottom 120mm fan. I'm using a 80mm fan instead so the psu fits :)
 
iv just gone from 5770k 16gb to 5830k and 16gb ram with the asus delux mobo. i can tell the deifferance straight away with boot up, games , photoshop.
 
If I'm going with the 5820K and Gigabyte X99UD4 how much should I OC the CPU to match the 4Ghz speed of the 4930K ? With this CPU I just set the multiplayer to 40x for all cores an never touched the voltage and just saved the settings, and it ran perfectly from day one.
 
Got the Gigabyte SOC mobo :) now just to find some appropriate Ram.
Got hold of the CPU also - I don't know if batch version makes any difference as to OC potential, but this is what the box says.

Appropriate RAM.

Do the special board justice and feed it 2666Mhz.

you phanteks cooler should still fit in-between these.

over at overclock.net and hwbot forums there are threads discussing batch numbers and results.

arh crap for some weird reason this board can't do 3 way sli at x8x8x8 but only x16x8x4 and that means no 3 way sli support ! super odd since the x99ud4 does x8x8x8 with an 5820k :(

"those with a 28 lane cpu like the core i7-5820k will obviously have to make a few sacrifices. in a 2-way setup, the slow configuration drops down to x16/x8 which basically diminishes any graphical advantage this platform has over the mainstream core i7-4790k/z97 combo. what's worse - though it will effect much less people - is the fact that in a three-way setup the pci-e lane breakdown is x16/x8/x4 instead of the more conventional x8/x8/x8 distribution. this weird x16/x8/x4 setup is not supported by sli, and it nowhere near optimal a proper 3-way crossfire setup either."

Now the SOC is cancelled and I'm back to X99UD4 or Asus X99-S.
 
Sure?

2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x16 (PCIE_1，PCIE_2)
* For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIE_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIE_1 and PCIE_2 slots.

2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x8 (PCIE_3，PCIE_4)
* The PCIE_4 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIE_1 slot. When the PCIE_4 slot is populated, the PCIE_1 slot will operate at up to x8 mode.
* When an i7-5820K CPU is installed, the PCIE_2 slot operates at up to x8 mode and the PCIE_3 operates at up to x4 mode.
(All PCI Express x16 slots conform to PCI Express 3.0 standard.)

Heres a pic of the board - http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/product/2/5280/20150311140857_big.png - you can see the PCI numbers next to the slots.

I read it as being,

PCI_1 = 8X
PCI_2 = 16X (but 8X with a 5820)
PCI_4 = 8X (taken 8X away from PCI_1)
