New Build X99

Hi Everybody,

My old computer is historical haha, I can't play modern games and it made me angry so I decided ima get my self a new rig 🙂
I am from Israel and everything here is overpriced (a lot), but at least ill have warranty 🙂
I did a lot of research and finally came here to ask people for suggestions and thoughts 🙂
Here is the build i'm thinking:

Motherboard : Asus rampage V extreme
CPU : I7-5820k
CPU : Cooling: Noctua NH-D15 ??????
GPU : Zotac 980 Ti Amp Extreme
PSU : 1000w Corsair
RAM : Ripjaws V DDR4 4x8 3000mhz
SSD : Pcie SSD Intel 750
Case: Corsair 900D

This is what I think ill be getting, sorry if missed something.
My current problem is cooling cpu/fans in case, I never tried water cooling but I always used noctua products.
I will be overclocking the 5820k to 4-4.2 and the pc will be used for gaming and streaming in future.
Games mainly would be Armored Warfare and Dota 2, but I would love to try new games as well 🙂

I would really appreciate any thoughts and suggestions on the build 🙂

Thanks everyone!

I would like ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS with 2x Intel Xeon E5-4669 v3 and 64+64GB DDR4 2800 and 2x ASUS TITAN X and 2x Intel P3608 4TB 😄
For gaming.

The main problem with huge air coolers is physical clearance with the top GPU card. RAM compatibility isn't such an issue because 99% of us will actually do enough research to ensure proper fit.

Most GPU coolers require good airflow around and above the card. Most are designed with the "hidden" requirement that a 120mm or 140mm rear exhaust fan sucks air right off the GPU backplate. A large CPU cooler like the NH-D15 will blast a lot of air through a CPU rad but it will also block air needed to properly aircool the adjacent GPU slot.
