So I am custom building a PC and I would like to know two things: A) Are all of these parts compatible with each other (especially the motherboard) and B) What is a case that is cool temperature wise and could support the 4 USB's on the front and the 6 USB's on the rear of the motherboard (or at least most of them)? Here are the specs:

I would get the 5820k over the 6700k all day long for about the same price.

I will drop the RAM to 16 GB and trade for an SSD. Stupid decision on my part. Will take a look at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. Also, I'd rather the 5820K over 6700K, they are both around the same price anyways.

This is what the PC looks like with an SSD and 16 GB RAM

32 GB is likely sweet.

I agree they are about the same price; As such I kinda think the i7 4790K with Z97 and DDR3 is the most attractive option.

Intel may ditch Broadwell-E and go straight to Skylake-E but that mean the next generation of those processors likely is pushed back another 6 months or so.

Ok so I'm on the fence here. Should I either get the 32GB or the SSD? I realize that an SSD is very fast... but a 2 TB HDD is a really large amount of storage. They both come out around the same price either way, so which do you all think would be better?

Unless you are running some extremely intensive program that require tons and tons of RAM, your biggest bottleneck will be the hard drive and an SSD will make a world of difference
