Hello,
I'm working on a brand new PC build from scratch. The link below will lead you to a list of the hardware I'm planning to use. I've done a from scratch build once before and am pretty amateurish in my knowledge of BIOS settings and component compatibility, so I just wanted to ask the community here if they wouldn't mind offering their knowledge, thoughts, and opinions on this build and any issues that I may run into with it.

Also, I'm aware of the issue with the X99 chipset and Broadwell-E CPU compatibility. A simple BIOS update can fix this, although I do not have a separate computer available to update the BIOS if the BIOS version out of the box is one that isn't Broadwell-E compatible. I can get a new updated BIOS chip from EVGA for free, but I would like to avoid any downtime if possible. Would there be any issues, no matter how small, if I were to boot the build into the BIOS settings to check the version so that I know if I need to get a new BIOS chip or if I can continue with installing the OS?
