I'm building this rig. Although ive done quite some research for their compatibility. I want to verify by speaking with many actaul people who are experts. So here are my projected components:

Processor: Intel core i7 5820k
Motherboard: Gigabyte x99 UD4
Psu: Cooler Master Vanguard S 750W 80 plus gold.
Ram: (2) Crucial micron ddr4 4gb 2133
Casing: Inwin BR 665

Aside from component compatibility, specifically these are my concerns:
1. Will they fit on the casing i mentioned?
2. Can I use my current gtx 760 with it? Im not yet upgrading my gpu.
3. Does the psu in my list enough for future hi end gpu or even sli plus cooling? Is it a good brand or would you recommend another?
4. Can you say that mobo is future proof for upcoming intel cpus? (Because mobo is the last thing i used to upgrade)
5. What can you say about the ram? It's currently the cheapest ddr4 in my country.

Just fyi, i also already have 2x 1tb wd blue hdd, an asus dgx 5.1 soundcard and a dvdr im planning to use along with it.

Would you suggest other components as subsititute within the same price range.

Ill be using this for architectural rendering and modeling. And of course games too.

Thank you very much for your input.

1. Nope, the case is mATX compatible and the MoBo is ATX, it will not fit. Replace the case if possible, the MoBo is great and mATX are smaller in size.

2. Yep, you can use that GPU.

3. Yes it does have the required quality and wattage for SLI and cooling. No it isn't the best in the market. EVGA B2/G2 750W or Corsair TX750W are higher quality.

4. Your MoBo won't fit. And any X99 MoBo has atmost upgradibility to 5960X.

5. Yep RAM's good.

The case is the only issue, Thermaltake Chaser A31 or Corsair 300R or Fractal R4 (a bit costlier at $80) are great alternatives.

All components are compatible.

1. The components will not fit in that chasis. I would recommend This one

2. Yes, you can use your 760

3. It may work, it all depends on the card(s) you get. I would recommend getting a PSU that is GOLD certified. Like this one

4. The mobo you have should be future proof to and extent. I mean, we never truly know what Intel is going to do.

5. It's great RAM.

I would recommend some sort of thermal controller / monitor.
