Thanks everyone who has, over the weeks, given me some great advice for my first build, here is the final list I have come up with, I will be buying on monday, so any final warnings, or pieces of advice would be greatly appreciated.
The idea was to go for a silent build, that could handle thunderbolt (I have a UAD apollo audio interface)
Anything glaringly obvious I am doing wrong?
I have a couple of questions as well,

- Fractal Design R5
- Gigabyte z170x UP5 TH
- Intel i7 6700k
- 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX
- Noctua U12s CPU cooler
- Noctua NF A14 fan (For back of case, moving the Fractal stock fan to the front for two fans at the front)
- Be Quiet Straight power 10 500w PSU
- ASUS Strix GTX960 (Running 3 screens, not gaming at all really, well, I may dabble....)
- Sandisk 480gb System drive
- Startech Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt adapter
Anything glaringly obvious I am doing wrong?
I have a couple of questions as well,
- I have an apple wireless keyboard and mighty mouse, I am assuming I wont be able to use these at the bios screen etc, so should I get a USB keyboard and mouse, or, will an RF Logitech Keyboard and Mouse work?
- I am not overclocking my CPU, do I really need to generate an SSDT, as I understand I will have multiple states, just more if I do, will this really be an advantage for me as an audio engineer? - I am not sure I understand this whole issue anyway (I have read through other posts on here)
