This is really based around the LG TV that will do 4k 4:4:4 @60hz. All of this will be underwater ~July, when my wife has hopefully recovered from me blowing most of our tax return on a PC.
Opinions please! I probably wont be able to build another for 2-3 years, so this one needs to be right!
Update:
So, I have edited this post to take some peoples suggestions. I am going with a lower priced RAM, as benchmarks show little improvements, and DDR4 seems to overclock well. Also, the ASRock WS board has been replaced by a lower model ASUS board that still has the OC socket and an acceptable PCIE layout, and beefier VRM cooling (also read several reviews of major problems with the ASRock board). The PSU was swapped for an arguably lesser unit, but still in the same tier, and wont require painting/modding on my behalf. The Noctura has been deleted completely, as the reduction of component price has opened up a bit of room to pick up some water cooling parts, enough for a CPU loop now. VGA blocks, hard line, and more rads to be added when budget permits.
All watercooling components will be from Performance-PCs, as they are located close enough to make a visit worth the shipping discount. Everything else will be purchased from Newegg along side of their Newegg Premier membership.
Update #2:
Some items changed price, and were unavailable for purchase at checkout. Namely the TV went up signifigantly, so I went with the 49" instead, and the RAM went up by a good chunk. Updated accordingly.
I have tracking numbers for everything but the W/C stuff. Have to make time to get down to PPCS
