I am creating computer build and need help! So far I have decided on the following parts:

Motherboard: X99A Gaming 9 ACK
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K
GPU: GeForce GTX 970 (2x)
Hard Drive: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 3.5" 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive (2x)
SSD: SAMSUNG 850 PRO 2.5" 256GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1866MHZ
Power Supply: LEPA G Series 1600-Watts ATX12V/EPS12V SLI Ready Crossfire Full Modular 240-Pin 80-Gold Certified 1700 Power Supply
Optical Drives: Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW (2x)

I still need to choose a case and a cooling system/setup. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could make suggestions for those components (or any others that I missed) or critique any of my decisions for the other parts (to avoid bottle necking, compatibility issues, etc.). No peripherals are needed for this build. I'm very new to this and all feedback would be greatly appreciated!

That's a rock solid computer out there mate. Slightly overpowering PSU, worthy of 4 way SLi, or Crossfire. But that's none of my business.

For this computer, I can't recommend anything less than Fractal Define XL R2, Fractal Define R5, and even better, Corsair Obsidian Series 750D, and most splendid case out there, Corsair Series 900D. As for cooling, if You're willing to OC that chip [which You should, and must, because otherwise, You'd be getting Your butt kicked by 4770k], I recommend either custom water loop, or at least Kraken x61/Corsair Hydro Series h110i gt. Nothing below those two, not a dime.

If by any chance You have accessible Swiftech h240x, go get him tiger.

P.S.: If You're open to changes on Your current system, I...

P.S.: If You're open to changes on Your current system, I strongly recommend Ax 860i, instead of that monstrous Lepa G Series PSU, also WD Red Pro, instead of those Blacks, and if there's a room for 5830k, instead of 5820k, You won't be sorry for that one, I assure You.
