Hi,
I am going to start a new build named PST: Project Silicon Talisman. I have received most of the parts and awaiting some. It is a combination of old and new parts. I am not upgrading monitor, CPU, motherboard and memory as there isn't much to gain with the Skylake over Haswell Devil's Canyon. The build consists of the following components:
Samsung U28D590D 28-Inch Ultra HD (4K) Monitor
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K Haswell Devil's Canyon
GPUs: 2x Sli Nvidia Galax/KFA2 GeForce GTX 980 Hall of Fame (HOF)
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400MHz DDR3 (4x4gb)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
PSU: SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 1300W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Full Tower Case - Black
Cabling: Custom cabling ordered to fit the red/white theme.
Watercooling loop:
Coolant: Mayhems Pastel Ice White
CPU Cooler: EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy EVO
GPU Blocks by Diamond Cooling - White Acetal
14/10mm Acrylic Tubing
Barrows Black compression fittings
420mm Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Stealth 420 (Push+Pull)
360mm Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GTX 360 (Push+Pull)
Pumps: I am using two different pumps because I already own them and taking them off my existing loop
Pump 1: Swiftech MCP35X Industrial Pump 12 Volts
Pump 2: Swiftech MCP655-B Water Pump 12 Volts (EK-XTOP D5 Pump Top)
Radiator Fans:
420mm Rad: Push/Pull - 6x 140mm Akasa AK-FN063 Viper Fan High Performance S-FLOW Blade Quiet Fan - 3.12 mm/H2O
360mm Rad: Push - 3x 120mm Corsair SP120 High Performance Edition High Static Pressure Fan - 3.1 mm/H20
Pull - 2x 120mm Phobya G-Silent 1500rpm + 1x 120mm Cooler Master Fan

D5 Pump Top installation
This is my Swiftech MCP655-B pump. Time to treat it with a new Top. 😉
And here is the 2nd pump that will be part of the loop. Swiftech mcp35x

Done a few tubing runs. Still waiting on the gpu blocks before I can close out the loop and move on to the filling. 😉
Made an opening through the rear side panel to install 3x 140mm fans for air intake. hopefully it will bring in enough fresh air. installed the fans with the grills and the dust filters.
Made the mounting bracket for both the pumps to go on it. Also sleeved the pump cables.
Came out very well after cutting, drilling and painting to achieve the perfect fit.

360mm rad installed in front. Cable management needs some work yet.
420mm radiator goes in the top.
Most of the components in the case. Build taking some shape now 🙂
