I built mine last year. Went overboard.

 

ASRock X99 Extreme11 Motherboard

i7 5820K 6-Core - NXZT Kraken Water Cooled

64GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4

EVGA 980ti Graphics Card

512GB Samsung 850EVO SSD 

3TB Seagate HDD

How well do you know watercooling? I've thought about an entire watercooling system (not just a plug-and-play cooler + fan) because colored water.

Then again, I'll probably just go dual/tri fan setup for a CPU cooler. 

The i5-3570k I have now (decent, but nowhere good) is only air cooled.

 

Probably going to build a 4k resolution build in the future, probably when the new x299 comes out. SLI twin 1080s with twin 27 inch 4k monitors

I've had no trouble with a plug-and-play system causing bottlenecks. I'm no expert but I did my research. The reason I went with the Kraken is I had the corsair h110i, and it broke after a few months of use. I don't buy into the custom watercooling game because of the risks associated with it. I think you're much more likely to have a leak, and the performance boost from it isn't worth it. Just depends if you want your PC to look dope or perform well for a long period of time. I've oveclocked my CPU to 4.7ghz and have had no issues and my cpu ran at very cool temperatures under very heavy load. I used to bot  Clash of Clans on 4 seperate VMs with no troubles and could still play CS:GO on high settings.

True. It'd be way easier anyway. The build would be $5k where I have it now (M2 SSD + twin 4k monitors + twin 1080s aren't cheap). Neither is the Asus MOBO, or the 6850k

Go for it man! I created my PC with the intention of it being able to have no bottlenecks for as long as possible. I think I'll use it for at least another 3 or 4 years. I'm not as resource intensive as I was when I bought the PC, so I get nowhere near the limitations. Within the next year I'll probably either get another 980ti as they're dropping quickly.

Well this little 3570k was a cheap build (~2k with a lot of peripherals), and although I can't bot two RS accounts at the same time apparently without maxing out the CPU (although I'm not overclocking), it still works great for everything else, and I still get good quality gaming on Dota. Twin monitors are the best thing ever, period. So, I can't imagine twin 4k monitors being any different. But, this PC will be 4 years old in a month or so.
