Punch-list advice on productivity/gaming build for long-time Mac user.

Build Ready

###Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

100%.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

This build will serve as my at home productivity unit. I use large databases and financial models. I also am a dreadful multi-tasker, so I could be working on 4-5 different projects at a time. As far as gaming goes, I do not have any other console, so this will be my only unit. (pls RDR 2 port to PC soon)

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

I want to be able to play current games, especially FPS, on ultra settings. I understand that I can modify and cut down the settings on grass etc in certain games, but in general I would like for the game's to be played to the top of their reasonable potential.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

My budget is $2,700 ballpark including monitors and peripherals.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

**Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please).

My current parts list

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I know that some of these parts (like the fans and the liquid cooler) are not the most cost effective. I am also having some fun with this build so cutting tiny costs in those departments isn't a necessity. That being said, if there is something preventing me from attaining my desired performance that I could attain just by shifting funds, then I am all ears.

Thanks !

Made a few changes not much. Fractal Design fans are really good and high quality so I suggest those.
