What do you think of my buy list?

I'm building a computer that will be for games with at UHD, music production, video editing & virtualizing network hardware. It's got to be a very versatile rig, with a ridiculous amount of room to upgrade. The parts have already been bought, except for the monitor; rather than advice on what to buy, I'm really just looking for opinions, judgement & feedback.

Motherboard: Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME
CPU: 2011-v3 ~ Intel Core i7-5820k
Case: Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper
Graphics Card: PCIe 3.0 x16 ~ Zotac Geforce Gtx 980 Ti Amp!
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Water Cooler - Factory Refurbished
Hard Drive (C:): M.2 Socket 3 ~ Samsung SM951 256GB M.2 SSD
Hard Drive (D:): SATA 6Gb/s ~ WD Black 2 TB 7200 rpm WD2002FAEX
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16Gb (4X4gb) Ddr4 2800Mhz 1.2V
PSU: Corsair AX1200i PSU 1200W 80+ Platinum ATX Power Supply
Monitor: Display Port 1.2 ~ ASUS PB287Q (4K Monitor, 28"W (15.8"H), 60Hz)

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Would have dropped the PSU down to a 650 watt unit. 1200watt is extreme overkill. Could have used that save money for a bigger SSD or more ram. Even though you want room to upgrade with, an 850watt unit would easily suffice if you added another 980ti. Other than that it's solid all around. Will last a very long time for sure. Should OC that rig to really see how good it gets when using all that software.
