Alright so I posted earlier today and I got loads of help and support, so thanks. Anyway I have revised my choices to annoy you all again :p lol.

Here they are:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/p27wsY
And yes the link works this time lol

Anyways I am building this computer to use programs like Autodesk inventor, Cinema 4D, Blender, all the adobe programs among others. I am also going to use this for pretty heavy gaming; Battlefield, Skyrim, Crisis, Minecraft (with a lot of mods) and many more. The moral of the story is I need a good and reliable computer that I can upgrade and get more into customization as this is my first build :). So feel free to let your preferences, thoughts, and experiences fill the comments/ answers because I do not want garbage parts. Also will the above CPU cooler hold up when overclocking? Ima hit 4 maybe 4.3 GHz when running games so is the fan enough or should I opt to a self contained water sleeve? I heard this is good but I just want to make sure. Anyways thanks.

Great build. If I was going to nitpick, I would say get 4x4GB of RAM since the X99 supports quad channel. $10 more gets you 2800mhz as well.

A few other cases, that may fit your build aesthetically.

nzxt noctis 450

entho luxe

Personally i'd say if you're getting into any water cooling open loop custom systems look into the enthoo primo. An amazing case, and can hold some insane rads and cheaper then a 900D about the same size.
But i digress 750D is a solid case, and really with these three cases you're just looking at aesthetics more then anything they should fit the bill though.

Solid build. However, If I were spending this much money. I'd definitely sacrifice on the CPU and put more into the GPU.

If you don't want to cut back on the CPU. Drop the 970 and pickup an R9 390. Much better for the money.

no point the monitor doesn't go above 1080p, plus my other monitors that do don't have the fastest refresh rates which are nice in FPS. Plus I need the CPU for rendering. I mean what real differences will I see? I mean is it really worth another $300 for a gtx 980 ti SC? I ask this because no game really goes above 1080p and 1080p is amazing so why would it benefit me? I am open to it (Only a thousand dollars more than I expected) but I just need a reason

As someone who owns a 980 ti g1. It's a great card, but their are some games i don't get a solid 60fps on, granted its metro 2033 with msaax4 so technically its supersampled to 4k on a 1080p screen and it does add a but load of details, it's just nice to plan for the future. That said, pascals coming out in a year so if you get a 970 now you can drop it for a newer one later. Or buy a 980 ti now wait for pascal to drop and buy a 980 ti at a reduced price or sell your old ti for a new pascal equivalent. Choice is yours though.

Also second the opinion of a 390 over a 970. But if you can afford it a 390x performs just as well as a 980 for a cheaper price.

r9 390x? I mean if it performs just as good for $100 more then hell ya, but I have always been warey of AMD. I heard their GPUs are great but their CPUs are just way slower than intel hence the drastic price difference. A link? I just see so many other versions, I want torefer to the one you are talking about. Thanks
