So that's what I put together. This will be my first build and I'm still new to the whole process. Was wondering if people could give me their thoughts and opinions on it.

A few concerns I have are whether everything will be able to fit into the case. It comes with a 230mm, 140mm, and 2x120mm fans, on top of the liquid cooler, will I have room for the two LED case fans? And if I did do you think it'd be too bright and I'd be better off with regular case fans?

Any insight is appreciated. I'm sure I've overlooked some details. Thank you.

It's for gaming, yes. I plan to buy a 1440p monitor soon after I make this build. Hoping to max graphics with Fallout 4 being around the corner! I already have a good 1080p I'll use as my 2nd. I plan on overclocking. Thanks for your reply!

A single 980 Ti should perform better than SLI 970.

I've used the D14 and many AIOs, stick with the AIO. The big air coolers are huge clunky beasts that weigh enough to destroy a mobo. My personal preference would be to ditch the Azza case, I think they're garish, but that's my personal taste. The rest looks pretty good, but I would up the PSU to a 750, as your o/cing will/probably run right up to your 650 psu limit. I like to have some spare juice in case of a spike in demand.
