Hello Team,

Basically, this will be my second build in which I would use for gaming, photo editing, and video editing (in that order of usage). I know this would be a challenge but fun build for a future proofing for time to come. I should mention that I am not crazy into the whole overclocking or changing BIOS thing.

Below is my part list I complied:

[Case] Ncase M1 V5.0
[PSU] Corsair SF600 (80 Plus Gold)… Soon to come
[CUP] LGA 1151 i7-6700K at 3.4HZ
[GPU] EVGA GTX 980 Ti 6GB SC (reference card)
[Memory] G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2x16GB)
[CPU Cooler] Noctura NH-U9S
[Storage] Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SATA III (main)
[Storage] Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SATA III (storage and backup)
[Fans] Noctua NF-F12 PWM x4 each
[Cabling] Custom cables and tools
[Software] Microsoft Windows 8.1 4-Bit, MS Office 2016, Adobe Photoshop Light room, Adobe Premiere Elements 14,

Please let me know your concerns. I am questioning the motherboard of choice and seeking recommendations to improve.

Thank you for your time.

V/R

looks good to me.

my only comment would be that Noctua NF-F12 fans are designed for static pressure. They are basically for pushing through things like hard drive stacks or heat sinks. If you have an intake fan in front that is blocked by hard drives, an NF-F12 is fine. For open case fans you'll want NF-S12A fans, which are optimized for airflow and quietness.
