Hey guys, so I had some issues with my build and had to replace some parts so time for an update.
-What it is used for-
This is my usage plan:
- Will be using it for watching movies, listening to music browsing, etc (general computing)
- Will be editing videos (maybe even start a youtube channel) and will be editing music (I want to get into DJ'ing and as well I do help out my father in his media business), as well as some moding for video games using Blender, MAYA, etc. -3D modeling, physics/other simulation (such as FEA, etc), Some Quantum Mechanics, Matlab/Mathematic Algorithms, Programming (both High and Low Level), image/video analysis, research from the web and data crunching on my own (or have the ability to crunch the data) some sensor data (for like personal research, or stuff I plan to do, like making a small UAV) modifying, etc. (though for more complex things I do have access to a supercomputer courtesy of my work and at my school)
- Some software I have used before: ABAQUS ADAMS SoftwareANSYS ASPEN HYSYSC/C++ CES4Femap FORTRAN Gas Turbine 9GESOP LABVIEW LoftsmanLS-DYNA MAPLE MATHCADMathematica MATLAB MSC SOFTWARENastran, Patran,PTC Pro Engineer and Rapid Prototyping ScannerSTK Tecplot I have personally already used STK, Pro-E (now know as Creo) and Autocad 3D
- I also want it to able to game at higher resolution with good performance (for fast paced shooters, and STARCITIZEN!!)
- I am also curious into going for Folding and SETI and any other scientific computation at home when I am not using my computer for work/play
- I would also like this build to be "future proof" in the sense that I do not need to make a big upgrade (like a new chipset or something) and be easily up gradable -etc.
As of right now I am working with an institution which is running a project in a orbital cleaning satellite. So I will be running mostly a lot of analytically software and simulators. Most predominate software that are used by the institution are the same software I have listed above. For example besides the CFD and FEA with thermals, I will be expecting to run multi-dynamic orbital simulations as well. In a few months are so I will be doing research on self replicating 3D machines (i.e. 3D printers) and will help in running theoretical calculations and simulations as well. 3D work and CAD are also a given. I will also be doing research and testing on other topics on the side as well and would like my personal computer to be able to handle some complex algorithm and simulations. Also I am entering into my industry as well in the coming 8 months and I would love for a system I won't have to upgrade (chipset and processor) for some time or so. I am also running a turbulent simulation on Ansys which leads to 100% CPU load due to the intel MPI which helps alot.

-The Build: Part 1-
So i will be using electrical tape to insulate the back of the case such that I don't short out the board.
Testing out of the box:
Some fan upgrades:
Will update as the process goes.
If you have any comments and suggestions, let me know 
A side note:
Thoese who run simulation knows the pain. This is a simple cfd case but it takes hours, even on faster quad cores. Look at this:
This is running on a quad core overclocked to 4.8Ghz (my backup system, an i5), and its supposedly a simple simulation...
