Hey guys,
Sorry to cause all the hate, but I forgot to mention why I got each part for, so allow me to explain;
Ram:
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (4GBx4) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) CL16 SR x8 Unbuffered DIMM 288-Pin Memory
(DDR4 Memory just recently came out, it has 20 more features than DDR3 not to mention that it will be a LONG time before DDR5 comes out IF we haven't already move to a new interface by then. Also DDR3 had similar speeds to GDDR5 memory which leads me to conclude that DDR4 Memory would be much more efficient and given the fact that in the event you run out of GDDR memory in GPU's when running high end games, it automatically takes from your DDR memory which will cause a lag, but I am hoping with the new DDR4 the "Lag" issue has been solved.)
Optical Drive:
ASUS BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS 12X Blu-ray Internal Burner Drive with Disc Encryption
(Well what can I say, I have parents who are....Old Schooled...Also its better to have it as there are still many places that use the cd/dvd/bdvd interfaces)

Case:
Cooler Master HAF X - Full Tower Computer Case with High Airflow Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0 (Already Purchased)
(Was well priced, had VERY GOOD cooling and as I was going with ONLY air cooled build it seemed perfect, not to mention that it was big enough to fit all my components but not to big to fit into my suitcase)
CPU:
Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E 8-Core 3.0GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor (Already Purchased)
(This is really a no brainer if you want the best and smoothest gameplay experience. Even though the 4790K and 5820K can deliver close to similar FPS it will stutter when playing UHD 4K Games which is a big NO-NO for me)
MotherBoard:
ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME, Extended ATX x99 Motherboard , LGA 2011-V3 Socket, DDR4 3300Mhz+(OC) (Already Purchased)
(This was pretty straight forward. It has SEVERAL PCI and PCIe lanes most of which are x16/x8 and I believe 1 is x4. ALL of them are 3rd generation PCI.
It also can house the new DDR4 RAM and the 2011 CPU's.)
CPU Cooler:
Noctua NH-D15 (I plan to game for very long hours on 4k, But I am reluctant to get WaterCooling for fear of leaks or evaporation)
(This one I got to be honest I went across many forums from tomshardware, linustechtips, pcadvisor, anandtech, etc. Everyone mentioned this one as the No.1 air cooler for CPUs' so i just went with it. )

Hardrives:
2 x Western Digital 4 TB Green SATA III 5400 RPM 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM (Storage) (Already Purchased)
(I'm an avid anime watcher and I'm a bit of a digital hoarder to lol 😛. At the moment I am using 3 external WD drives, a 1TB a 2TB and a 4 TB with only about 1.5 TBs left of free space collectively. So yeah I figured since WD Green use less power and have the longest life out of most HDD's I figured it was the best way to go as I'd only be using it for storage.)
1 x Intel SSD DC P3700 Series SSDPEDMD400G401 (400GB, 1/2 Height PCIe 3.0, 20nm, MLC) (For installing games/programs/OS) (Already Purchased)
(Cmon, lets face it everyone knows PCI SSD's are the fastest thing out there and are about 4x faster than any SSD can ever be and this one from intel is PCIE native which means it can be booted from. So with a read of 2700-2800 Mbs and Write of 1080Mbs I won't have any long load times for well...anything really.It also has a new feature called NVMe which is Non-Volatile Memory Express which is much more efficient in terms of speed to load familiar programs.)

GPU:
2 x GTX 980 Geforce Gigabyte G1
Power Supply:
EVGA Supernova 1000 (Already Purchased)
(Also can use the new features of the CPU 2011 V3)
Monitor:
Samsung 28-Inch Ultra High Definition LED Monitor (Already Purchased it....Before the new ASUS monitor came out T_T)
Actually this monitor is very much so geared for gaming. It only has three drawbacks:
- Dull Blue and Grey colours aren't displayed as well as they should
- The outside is made with cheap materials
- It uses Display Port 1.2 not 1.2a
TN panels, although they are cheap are still great for gaming due to the speed at which it switches images as well as being able to run at much higher refresh rates (which means more FPS) than other monitor types. The drawbacks that these monitors have are they they are not as great as IPS and VA when it comes to displaying colour, and some colours can appear very inaccurate at certain viewing angles.
IPS monitors, although they are much MUCH better at colour reproduction and have better veiwing angles they suffer from motion blur and are not as fast as TN panels.
So for competitive gaming TN panels are the way to go which makes the UD590 absolutely great for competitive gamers who want to game at 4k, although the ASUS PB287Q is slightly better in the sense that it has an adjustable stand but it is slightly (and I mean SLIGHTLY) slower than the UD590.
I think I got everything there, so as I said what else do you think I can add to this build?
