Hey,thanks for the input.
Would I need any cooling parts or would they come as fans already on the gpu?
Also,how upgradeable would this be down the line?
Thanks.

No worries. All the fans you need are included.

You can add any of the current high end Intel CPUs to it, the new line is launching in two days but there's not much upgrade so I don't think it's worth waiting for. Best CPU for this board is an i7 4790k. Just a straight swap for that, in and out.

GPUs can be readily swapped, you take one out, uninstall the drivers, hop your upgrade in and install the new drivers, done. 500w is enough for all the regularly priced cards, as far as an AMD Fury or GTX 980. In future you won't be upgrading to those so it's hard to call that.

PSU can easily be upgraded if you need to with the GPU.

HHD and SSD you just plug them in, should be able to accommodate 6.

Board can take up to 32gb RAM, you'll not need that for a long time for gaming, it's just plug and play.

You won't need a new motherboard unless you're getting a newer line of CPU, and even then all the old parts will be compatible with the new motherboard
