That's not a PC, that's a monster.

Hope you'll keep your current machine around for tests though. Otherwise every review you make will say the same thing: "Runs perfectly at 4k on highest settings." ;)

That looks like a 3k+ Ring :D

Just some suggestions...

I would add a sound card to this beast so as to ROAR loud! :P

MID-TOWER cases are not good for GTX980Ti you may need a bigger one.

I prefer Thermaltake cases and Therlmaltake level 10 is recommended :)

Everything else looks fine unless you want to go a bit extreme and get another ssd for Raid0 ;)

It has already been ordered. it was just under £3K. They know what they are doing, and the 980ti wouldn't be an option if it didn't fit.
