Is this a good build for my needs?

Expectations:
I want a computer that can run the newest games (AC: Syndicate, Far Cry Primal, Fallout 4, etc.) on the highest settings without overheating or making tons of noise. My last comp had a lot of overheating problems and the fans would spin so loud it sounded like an airplane taking off. Sometimes I'll play for 10-12 hours straight so I need a machine that can handle it.

In addition to the Excellent advice given by Snaike, , consider saving some money and changing the 5930k for the 5820k cpu. The only real difference is the 5930k has 40 pice lanes for graphics primarily and the 5820k has 28. Even if you go sli in the future, the 28 lanes is all you need and is plenty of bandwidth.   

Not sure you need the side blowhole cut into the Velox. It does have side fans and ample cooling in general.   You could run it past DS.

Looks great and good luck.

Hi yetiuprising,

bprat22 is right about the blow hole. The front lower 140mm fan blows direct into the CPU area. There are no obstructions between the fan and the CPU. The Velox uses a reverse motherboard set up and there are two 140mm fan mountings already on the side. These two fans blow directly onto the GPU area. A very nice set up for air cooled GPUs. I am not sure that the two 140mm fans are populated in a standard build. You might have to ask DS to install the two side fans. If you are fan nose conscious you might want to add the DS fan control panel. That will give you direct control of the fan speeds with software.

This computer would be just for gaming. After looking at the Apollo case though I like that one better. Would anyone change their opinions on anything if I chose that case instead?

my config advice (with room to expand with another gpu if so desired):

Go for it, you will not be sorry.
