Is this a gaming PC or are you doing some heavy video editing and CAD?

CPU is overkill and does not fit on the board, which also is overkill. Do you plan on overclocking your CPU? Yes or no, "maybe later" means no.
No overclock i7 6700 and a smaller board. With overclock the k variant.

AIO water cooling is bollocks. Get yourself a decent air cooler for half the price and half the noise.

PSU is overkill. 500W is more than sufficient. My heavily overclocked 980 ti runs on 480W.

If you have money to spare, definitely get a bigger SSD.

I'm going overkill to be future proof. Not a video editing pc, this is for gaming.

There is no such thing as future proof. Your 980ti won't even last 2 years. Any current 4 core i7 will last you for the next 5 years. A 6700K is also a good amount faster than the 5820k due to newer architecture and higher clock. It's also cheaper with a proper board.

You're tallking about future proof but you're picking an outdated CPU?

CPus and GPUs will not consume more, but less in the future so having an oversized PSU now will only be even more oversized in the future. In case you're wondering, an oversized PSU will draw more from the socket than a proper fit due to the efficiency curve.
