Put together a new hack based on Stork's MyHero Build. I made a few relatively minor hardware changes from his build:
Everything was working fine the first couple days, then while playing a game I got a Kernel Panic, followed by a second about 30 minutes later in the same game. Everything was again fine for 4 days after this, but then I got another 3 Kernel Panics in about an hour. The first two of these 3 again were in game, but the third occurred on the subsequent restart.
At this point I started trying to figure out what might be wrong, and the common thread in all five panic reports was "com.nvidia.web.NVDAResmanWeb" in the backtrace of a Read Error. I started searching several forums, including this one, and found a few threads I thought might be helpful, specifically this one and a couple other similar ones that indicated I should check to make sure the card wasn't loose in the PCI Slot.
The Kingpin card is quite heavy (3.2 lbs), so I figured it might be sagging and slipping out. I turned the case on its side so that the GPU would be mounted vertically instead of horizontally, then pulled the GPU out, reinserted it into the PCI slot, and made sure that it had a secure connection. I also ordered an Atlas Graphics Card Brace. Until it arrived, yesterday, I had no panics.
As soon as the brace was delivered I installed it and returned my computer to the proper orientation. I was hopeful that my problem had been solved and that nothing else would go wrong, but since then I've had 10 kernel panics and 4 GPU restarts many of which have come without doing anything taxing graphically. Things I've tried since then:
Here is the most recent Kernel Panic, the others look similar:

I've seen a lot of threads about similar issues, a lot of potential solutions, and nothing that's looked like it might actually resolve things. On the plus side, the machine didn't die while I wrote this post. I'm really hoping that I didn't get a bad GPU, as it wasn't cheap to come by. Does anyone out there have any ideas?
- EVGA GTX 980 TI Kingpin instead of the EVGA GTX 980
- G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x16GB instead of G.Skill TridentZ 4x8GB
- Samsung 830 SATA SSD instead of Samsun 951 M.2 SSD
- SteelSeries H Wireless Gaming headset instead of using the on board audio (Headset works OOB w/ mac)
- TP-Link Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter
- No firewire card or webcam

- Using the x8 PCI Express slot instead of the x16
- Cleaning the GPU contacts
