I'm somewhat building this as a purpose built system to allow maxed out everything on Iracing (iracing.com), a racing simulator. I need the system to be triple monitor ready but also ready for Oculus Rift if I go that route. I did my research in their forums and several users gave the big goal posts and I stuck to them but also referenced Logical Increments which was really helpful. There are a lot of little "gotchas" that I am susceptible to as i have only built one other system in 2009 but I know the master race when I meet them. I've seen some excellent feedback from very knowledgeable folks, so please critique the build. Specifically, do I have enough power? Per my research I do. I am not looking to overclock. Thanks guys!
