Happy New Year to all!

I have decided I cannot be arsed building my next computer and so I want a good pre-made one with the following minimum specs.

Latest gen i7 (but not necessarily the fastest)
32gb ddr4 quality ram
256gb SSD
4-6 HDD Bays
1200w PSU
Fully water-cooled (no maintenance closed system)
Gigabyte Mainboard
Gigabyte 980 Titan
Case (easy to open, easy to upgrade, tooless, great cooling, aesthetics mostly immaterial)

Etc, etc etc

The following parts I already have and "could" be used.
8TB worth of HDD 4x 2tb (not very space efficient now thou)
265GB SSD
Gigabyte GTX 980
1000w PSU (possibly)

Any existing parts used must be integrated into the cooling for the rig so I would have to supply them to you.

I have a relative idea what this stuff is worth and willing to pay the cost so please don't ask me for a "budget"

Quotes (if you are in the trade) and/or recommendations sought.

1414068 2016-01-04 23:18:00 Computerlounge or PB tech build to order. Personally I think 32GB for gaming is total overkill unless you have some specific gaming title that actually uses that much. I only just made the Jump from 8 - 16 in my gaming rig and just because I could afford it, I've yet to see any benefit.

Looks like you know what you want, any particular goals? 4K gaming or multiscreen or something?
I have a 980 and a i7 6700K with 16GB RAM and game @ 1080P, kinda like hammering nails with a sledge hammer. I plan to wait until single graphics cards can handle full quality 4K gaming before I upgrade anything. Even this machine was an unnecessary upgrade so I do get the impulse :)

1414069 2016-01-04 23:26:00 32Gb is my minimum and because I can.

I will be upgrading the monitors later on to join the 4k bandwagon although none of the games I play right now can really benefit from that
I do want bigger/more screens thou

My main goal is to ignore the computer for another 3-4 years

Its not part of the computer, separate order/purchase.

1414075 2016-01-07 23:18:00 I have used this one, they are massive cases though if size matters to you www.computerlounge.co.nz
The drive cages can be mounted to either be as pictured or sideways. Haven't used the one you linked though.
