I am a long time reader/viewer of Tom's Hardware and have finally signed up with what seems to be an amazing community! Anyway... On to the issue at hand.

Any advice, opinions, etc... would be greatly appreciated. The following is the build I am thinking about. I have not chosen a case yet but want a future proof case (as with everything I can) with options and great airflow. looks are last but still very important to me, since I plan to be looking at it for some years to come.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Note: I am a heavy gamer and Streamer. I am also learning coding and do light video and photo editing. I am also in School for Game Design and hope to expand all of the above in the near future. Lastly I would like everything and anything thrown at it to be a smooth 60 FPS @ 4K if possible.

Case: Undecided, but maybe the Lepa Lenyx http://www.lepatek.eu/lenyx/
CPU: i7 5930k
GPU: Either Sli GTX 980's (4GB Each) or a Titan 12GB card.
MOBO: Asus Rampage V Extreme E-ATX
RAM: G. Skill Rip Jaws 16gb or 32gb? Depending on GPU (Titan X requires 24gb of ram to utilize the 12gb of Vram?)
SSD:Samsung 500gb or 512gb (depends on Pro or Evo series choice)
HDD:Undecided, but must be 2-3 TB
PSU:Undecided, but looking at this> http://www.corsair.com/en-us/rm-series-rm1000-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply
Cooling: NZXT Kraken X41 140 MM Closed LC. http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/145-kraken-x41-liquid-cooler.html

Hope I didn't forget anything lol, but please suggest away as I am not "Firm" with any part listed.

PS: Please forgive any typos as my keybord is dying. Double and triple typing letters and worse.

Thanks Again!!
 
I definitely suggest the Titan. I would not get the SLI 980's because it leaves with no real upgrade path. For storage I recommend two BLACK SERIES 2tb drives. Then for the PSU I would steer clear of the Corsair units completely. Then for the cooler, I would be looking at a dual rad if you want to be going the liquid cooling route. The case you added looks good. Another case to consider would be the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. It is pretty spectacular

Pretty bloody expensive build man

 
I am still unsure about the case, but thanks for the suggestions. Thinking Corsair Obsidian 750D or the In Win 707 Full Tower chassis for my red/black look I'm going for. http://www.inwin-style.com/en/goods.php?act=view2&id=707#product_tab

GPU:1 titan x and sli it soon!
RAM: 32gb 4. x8 4gb sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666 in red.
Mobo: Asus Rampage V
SSD: Samsung Evo Pro 512gb
HDD: 4tb Western Digital Black for storage
PSU: Corsair RMA1000 fully modular quiet PSU, due to reviews.

What Do You All Think??
 
Oh and do you think getting the i7 5930K is a bad idea? It is a 500-600 dollar jump for the 5960X. Although I game in 4k and do other things than gaming, I don't want to bankrupt myself. Thanks for all the helpful advice and suggestions.
