LEPA AquaChanger 120 103.6 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
EVGA GeForce GTX Titan X 12GB HYBRID Video Card
[2x] Pioneer BDR-209DBK Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
Seagate ST1000DM003 7200rpm HDD
Azza CSAZ-XT1 B ATX Full Tower Case
Rosewill Quark 650 PSU

Get a i5 6600K(i7 6700K if you wish) processor paired with a Z170 motherboard you will be much better off and get better gaming performance without the huge power draw and cooling problems.
32 GB of memory is wasted money just get a 2X8GB set for 16GB more than you will need.
Now the video card your not going to like this either. The Titan X is 100% what not to buy the GTX 980 Ti gets the same performance for a much lower price.
Why 2 Blu-Ray drives?
I would recommend a EVGA GS, G2, or P2 series power supply or a Seasonic.

Your choices for the 9000 series:

Asrock 970 Performance
ASRock 990FX Extreme9
ASRock 990FX Extreme6
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R4.0\5.0
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

AMD.COM

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 850W to 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling , h100i minimum or full system liquid cooling.

Also probably won't run 2400.
