Mismatched, but a very capable gaming machine at 1080 resolution. Your setup has a very high CPU capability with mediocre GPU performance.. For a similar price you could have went with the LGA1150 / 1151 platform with a much larger GPU with greater capabilities at 1440 resolution (and still keep SLI options open).

MB + CPU - The X99 platform shines by having more PCIe lanes available for multiple GPUs (more than two), and in intense CPU bound multithreaded programs (like Adobe for example). You have a single midrange GPU paired with it... The extra core + hyperthread in the i7-5820k will not game any better than an i7-4790k or i7-6700k.
MEM - 32GB of memory is a lot for a system not running multiple high-end GPUs in SLI / CF.
PSU -...

PSU - Nice unit, but you only need half that output with that system. ...or a comparable 750w for a pair of GTX 960 GPUs in SLI.
