Skylake only has 16 PCIE lanes available. Which means that with you two GPUs, you can't use ANY other PCIE devices. No PCIE SSDs, WIFI, Soundcards - none of it, or you'll cut one of your GPUs down to 4x from 8x.

So you may be one of the few cases that should go with a 2011-v3 board.

That RAM is slow. It may seem bling and nice and expensive but 15/17/17/35 @ 3000 is not very fast.
You can easily get 14@3200.

Again, you mention sound cards and wifi - you will not be able to use PCIE devices with this build - your GPUs take up all the lanes.

Okay so I upgrade to a 6850k and a ASRock X99 Taichi board

What PSU should I get? And should I get a UPS too?

Now we are talking!

Something from Tier 1, 750W or more. Corsair's high end stuff is really, really nice. Like half the top end PSUs are made by seasonic, regardless of branding.

Hell yeah you should protect it with a UPS, hell i'd consider putting a power conditioner and regulator on it just to make sure it sipped clean sin waves haha.
