I wouldn't invest in X99 at this point - it's a dead platform. Either go with X299 or AM4. I would also lose that SSD and go with an M2 drive and a 3 or 4 TB mass storage drive. If money is no object there's a couple of ways to go:

Thanks for the help

I already have the PCIE card in my computer at the moment along with a few Samsung 850's and a couple 4TB hard drives, was planning on basically moving them over as I am fairly happy with them.. --- probably should have added that in the original post my bad..

I used to always go with AMD but as I started upgrading to SLI I was always told I would bottleneck the CPU's, is that not the case anymore... as you can tell money isnt really a problem here just want something SUPER fast, reliable, and has to look sexy aswell

There's a few things I would suggest:

1. I don't see the point of the cache drive. I don't think this is something that I would spend money on.
2. I would swap the Corsair Vengeance RGB for G Skill Trident Z RGB - much better RAM.
3. I would also probably use something different for the case - such as a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv or an In Win 805.

doing some reading on the cache drive it makes it look like loading maps will be a LOT faster
I was also tossing up weather to go Deepcool Gamerstorm Dukase Liquid Case
as far as memory goes, as im only gaming does it really make that big of a difference?

It does if you're overclocking and since you are getting X299 then I would say that's something you should definitely consider. That case looks pretty decent. I'm not a fan of cases with doors though.
