Notes:

The MagLev fans are to replace the stock Corsair fans I am currently using.
The NZXT Sentry 3 is so that I can control them, but I don't think I would actually need it since I have enough PWM headers and ML fans should be pretty silent as is.
The HD600 & ModMic 5 is to replace my Xonar Xense Sound Card & Sennheiser PC350 Xense Edition Headset.
I would like to replace my Fury X with an RX Vega when it launches. Whether or not that'll happen thanks to GPUs being snapped up due to the mining craze remains to be seen.
I'm currently using a WD Red in my PC (on loan from my HTPC) as a standin for a Green which failed. Ideally I would like to replace it with another WD Black, or perhaps even two and run all three in a RAID5.

Have the funds. Don't have the space.

If I were to build a PC for shts & giggles I'd likely build my own case though & stick components in there that are 75% there in terms of top end & OC it. The common design leaves much to be desired imo & would like to try my hand at optimising that.

But I don't know what I'm doing...
