Alright, nice! I assume there's zero possibility of there being any issues such as the case being too small?

should be ok  

I changed a few things up again. This time, I've changed the motherboard and have plans for replacing the CPU cooler with some water cooling.

Any suggestions for water cooling?  

no pro on this topic but found this post on imgur and it might be slightly relevant (?):

the case is ****ing huge

i have it  

you want 16gb of ram, its kind of the future

watercooling isn't needed  

Also.. If this is for gaming why not downgrade to an i5 and get a better video card? Having an i7 compared to an i5 doesnt make a different in performance(except in rare cases like total war or if you plan on video editing)  

I'm ready for these new GPUs to come out so I can finally upgrade

I do plan to do more than just games.
Learning how to make 3D models, animations, programming, etc.
It wouldn't hurt to have a excellent processor!

390 is gonna be your best bang for buck atm, although i'd personally hold out since the new cards are coming out this summer iirc  

Does the 390 have an equivalent software to 970's Nvidia Gefore experience?

970 for performance, 370 for price

so no, the 390 is not equivalent
