It's a very nice build.

I personally would spend a few extra bucks on this case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

but it's an aesthetic change. If you're not happy with the build in either case I'll gladly dispose of it for you ;) 


How is the airflow on it?

5930K is faster for encoding 4k videos, 4790K could do it but its slower at it. anyways why not get a GTX 980 in SLI? they dont use much power. How much are you paying for this? If i may I would like to show you another build.

Dang bro! 980 SLI Is WAY overbudget. Im spending 2400 MAX, but I dont game BF4 on 4 monitors at 4K LOL. What about a single GTX 980 is worth it?

I've done 2 builds with the CM Storm Stryker and the airflow is excellent, and the small screens under the mesh catch dust very well. I use it in my basement, need to vaccuum the intakes once a week, but I clean the inside once every 3 months just out of habit, and it's usually just an excuse to waste my canned air.

FX-6100 clocked to 4.2GHz, using Xigmatek Gaia 1283 or something like that, don't go over 37 C under full load
