The Whole Deal

Phantek Enthoo Luxe Case, EVGA SC GTX 970 GPU, MSI X99S SLI Plus Motherboard, Intel i7 5820k, 16gb Ballistix Sport DDR4 RAM, Samsung SM951 256Gb PCIe M.2 SSD, 2 x 2Tb WD Black HDD and Noctua Cooling - Ignore the 212 Evo - it was a temp fix whilst I waited for the Switech AIO cooler

MSI x99S SLI Plus Motherboard plus an i7 Haswell-E 5820K

Raid 0 for Games/Steam/Apps

16gb Ballistix Sport DDR4 Ram - Yes 2 x 8gb - I wouldn't really have gained anything from Quad channel for my use

4 Noctua fans

This little beast is the Samsung SM951 PCIe 3.0 x4 256gb SSD

4tb Raid 0 for the bulky stuff (movies etc)

Its Bad I know , I wont Lie - My plan was to go back and fix it all up - but to be honest I couldnt be bothered!

That SM951 is a BEAST

Main screen is an LG 49UB8500 4K Smart TV - it will do 4k @ 60hz and also has true 4:4:4 - additional screens for 'work'are a pair of 24" Dell U2412M

Would love to have mad skills like this

Umm... Did you really get a 2x8gb stick ram kit on X99?.. You know X99 is quad-channel memory right!?! :X

I do yes, I really dont think I would see ANY benefit with what I use it for going for Quad Channel

Seagate has a far higher and verifiable failure rate. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-update-september-2014/
