So I am in the midst of choosing all the parts. I think I am about finished but I want to see what you guys think. Any better or cheaper options.

What's your budget?
What will you use the PC for?
Do you need a monitor ( how many)
Do you need peripherals
Do you have a colour scheme

Edit : Took a look at your build, I don't see the point in 32gb RAM. Most games use no more than 16 but you've good a big budget so I guess why the hell not. I'd recommend getting some more cooling in there ( I presume you'll want water cooling). I also don't see why you can't have an SSD?

If you can tell me your budget then I can try and make a few changes.

212 EVO does not belong in this system. 6700k deserves a better cooler. There are better options than the 212 EVO for a lower price anyway. 32GB RAM is unnecessary, 16GB will be plenty and you can always easily add some more RAM. No SSD in a £2k system is pitiful. That EVGA PSU you chose is trash. The G1(NEX) units are terrible quality. M45 is waayyy over-priced.

Significantly better cooler, better monitor, significantly better PSU, better motherboard, better quality case, and a nice big SSD. You can get the 512GB Samsung 960 PRO instead of the 500GB 850-EVO if you want, but the 960 PRO is twice the price so will put you over budget. You can get an NZXT Hue+ for £50 if you want some more LEDs. If you're buying case fans, buy these;

This gives you a lot more for you money, you dont need 32gb of ram 16 will do, i included a better board, better card, better memory, better and cheaper fans, a better pc cooler IMO, and i believe a ssd, and not for too much more
