SF LEADEX 1000w PLATINUM = $339
CORSAIR H115i CPU COOLER = $199
Fractal Design R5 Black w/Window = $169
Windows 10 = $150 (I think)

Total: $5239 (over your budget by $239 haha.)
All from PC Themes price list. feel free to tweak and wait for zerochaos to recommend for you. He is the Pro.

TS dun need k chip or x99 mobo if he is not overclocking,right? Save the money, he needs another $200 for window office retail pack lol.

Also, do note that some games will crash with Dual gpu settings but i think can disable and let system detect only 1 gpu right?

Samsung EVO 850 1 TB can be replaced with Sandisk X400 1 TB advanced TLC with ncache or Crucial MX200 MLC SSD from Amazon, easily saves you $300. All SSDs by now are sama sama. Google the reviews and you will see game loading times differ by 1-2 seconds only even when using Sammy Evos. Saving $300 can allow you to buy other things, perhaps even a PhysX card or higher end card or more storage.

WD 3TB black replace it with Seagate 2TB hybrid SSHD. The hybrid SSHD speeds up loading times significantly. Batman arkman loads in 27 seconds in 1st pass. After Seagate's onboard 8GB MLC SSD works its magic, Batman Arkam loads in a lightning 8.5 seconds on the 2nd and 3rd pass onwards, a massive improvement of 3x, and definitely in SSD territory. WD Black can't even touch the Seagate.

Don't go and buy the 4 TB Seagate hybrid SSHD. It uses a 5,400 rpm platter while the 2 TB spins at a faster 7,200 rpm. Minimum for storing apps and games, get a hybrid SSHD. Traditional hard disks do not cut it anymore.
