Laying out parts for my 2016 build to take place shortly after new years thanks to my 1k$ Xmas bonus. Wanted to get some SEN feedback on my current list and see if anyone has heard anything I haven't as work has been keeping me pretty busy.

Extremely overpowered gaming rig that provides an improvement on anything I currently have while looking 100% on point. Cosmetics are as important as performance here. Black/grey/silver color scheme which any and all possible parts must adhere to to the best of their abilities regardless of economics. Top tier manufacturers for absolutely everything, 'the market' and by extension people / non-official reviewers are dumb and does not dictate a trustworthy product.
Notes: GPU I am carrying over my 780Ti till AMD/NV release their next lineups next year. Second RAM kit will probably follow to hit 32GB.
