Right now I am looking into building/buying my first PC. This build would be use for gaming and creative work like video editing and etc... I want to know if I did a good job picking these parts out and doing my research.
PC Build
But I'm also open for other builds. If you do leave a build I only ask for you to make one that have this case (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-cah442wm8 since I really love this case) and the build color scheme could either be all black, black and white, or black and blue. No black and red since that color scheme is really popular and kind of everywhere... I will use black and red parts only if I have to. My budget is $2000 USD and I left the GPU blank because I am still deciding on the 1080 or 1070 but I'll make my mind up by later this year.

looks damn tasty to me. just about the exact build i have in mind ..one thing ill say is you may want to splurge on more ram. depending on how much editing and workstation type work you will be doing. 64 to start with the option to go 128 later..amazeballs. if you go 32 now and decide to go 64 later, then thats not enough when you start running ramdisks and piles of VMs.. you'll have to get all eight sticks instead of the four. just sayin, how much do you need in the long run? i haven't had my finger on the pulse of ram pricing lately, but $160 sounds cheap.

You realize you can use this cooler

and have the same results, right?
Otherwise I don't see anything bad in this system. It's all so black and sleek and... Sexy...

Swapped a few things, silence optimized case, motherboard with dual giga-bit just because for only a bit more
You aren't really going to want water cooling for a workstation in case something fails
otherwise just some performance per dollar parts
If you don't already have a 4k or 1440p 144hz display don't bother with a high end GPU man
And you really probably don't need RAM that fast

Thanks, a friend told me about this cooler I think he said he used it before and had no problems.
