Heck of a start! Welcome to the "club".
Best of luck on setting it up and may you enjoy it to the maximum!
Indeed awesome start :)
Joined the forums a few hours ago, completing the obligatory battlestation brag post.
Above is my trusty old rig- just haven't found a reason to upgrade...
My rig is designed as a do everything rig suited just for my needs. It's a gaming rig, work rig, audio editing, video editing, HTPC, it's baller AF at email.
You're looking at the following:
3930k
Asus P9X79 Pro Motherboard
Gigabyte 980ti Windforce 3x
Elgato HD60 Pro
Samsung 850 Evo's (1tb, 500gb)
WD Red (3tb)

EK Waterblocks custom loop: Pump Res DDC, Supremacy Evo WB, (2x) 240mm SE Rads, 12mm compression fittings, 12mm thin wall hard lines
EVGA 1050 G
Thermaltake Riing 12 Fans.

7.1 channel surround - phantom center:
2x M-Audio BX8 d2's

KRK 10s (subwoofer)
Mixer, aside from being great for recording gigs (I run a small field recording business on the side), is great for mixing 7.1 pc sound with 7.1 surround from receiver, and additional input sources, to 7.1 (minus center) speakers.
Happy to answer questions!

That's... Really beautiful case...
EDIT: I take that back. It's the cube case. I thought it was a tower. I take that back...

Ahhh!! It's gorgeous!!
You got this man! Hopefully you don't have to RMA anything. BUT, if you do, please don't let that be a deterrent for building your own! It's rare and the result of having your own machine is so satisfying. My mid-teir-four-years-ago machine is running everything I throw at it today.
Well worth the time and money.
@psycho_666 LOL - sorry to disappoint! :D
@Shadow_Bearer Thanks man
@SeizureBV - That is going to be a great PC. Be sure and update us!
Took a page from @Angrywelder and moved my AIO cooler to the front of the case. Massive difference in CPU temps, as it would easily hit 80c+ with that Fury card radiating heat and what-not; sub-60c temps in gaming now.

Motherboard was shoehorned in; despite no official E-ATX support, the Z97 Classy slots in if you remove the grommets in the R5

Glad I could help you out. I can't believe you got that board into that case; it looks good though.

That's an understatement; you saved me from sinking money into an unnecessary upgrade.
I honestly didnt think the radiator would reach all the way to the front, so I never tried. With the 20c improvement, upgrading to a 240/280 AIO has become less of an urgency.

Cool rig man. A lot of interesting choices, especially with the piping.
I like it! One question, what's going on up front? Is there another rad? Or, a 5.25" res? Or regular res? Just curious!

Interesting choice of fan placement.
agreed. especially at the bottom.Are you push/pulling through that Rad? It doesnt appear there are additional fans there... If not, what led to the decision to push air through the radiator vs pull? My personal experience with push has been poor, in the long run, due to buildup on the radiator face requiring removal of fans to clean. It cools fine, its just the maintenance that suffers. Similar issues exist with push/pull, but that's a cost you have to weigh with the benefit of extra airflow.
With all those intakes, and the open back, i have no doubt you'll be accumulating dust. I recommend you periodically check your radiator for accumulation.
Beastly build, man!
