Generally looks good to me.

If you're ok with a case that big and are worried about RAM clearance, you might consider getting one of those closed-loop liquid CPU coolers, where the bulk of it (the radiator) mounts to the back of your case and isn't anywhere near the RAM slots. Just a thought.

For a high end rig, 32GB is probably the new normal. (16GB minimum for new builds in general, IMO.)

If you are concerned about RAM clearance, look at the NH-D15S, which has clearance for RAM up to 65mm in height.

If you use your PC to game, 16 GB is plenty. You could get more than that now, or more later if you actually need it.

Lastly, for normal desktop stuff and gaming, the 950 Pro speed will not be utilized. There is actually a thread in the storage sub-forum where a person upgraded to a 950 Pro from a 850 Pro I believe, and was disappointed because boot and load times stayed the same.
