This is my first FULL build since 2006. I use this machine for gaming as well as work. I had a lot of fun putting this together. Noctua 140mm PWM fans all around in the define R5, with an NH-D15, 6700k, and 980 Ti. For storage, it's running the 950 Pro, two 512GB 850 Pro's in RAID 0, and two 1TB WD Enterprise drives in RAID 0.

For audio, I'm running an optical output from the Sound Blaster Z sound card to a pre-production toslink ODAC+O2 unit from JDS Labs, which powers my HD600's. This gives me reference-grade bit-perfect playback for music, while still allowing me to make use of the DSP/HRTF on the sound card with my external DAC+AMP.
