Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I am pretty much in the same boat as you and have been looking at the Elite 130, 250D, SG08, and a few others. This just came up: the Antec ISK600, but my google fu shows no reviews except for a couple on newegg.
Are there any hacks to get around CCC to ignore the reported size? Wiping my EDID seems kind of dicey. At this point I think I would rather just go through the RMA process.

Do I:
Get a adapter dongle DP-> mini DP
or
Just get a brand new cable that has DP -> miniDP
?
It seems like a DP -> miniDP cable costs $5-$6, but the...
If this is for a business, might as well just get this:
i5-2500+U2211H+4GB for only $499 via SD via Dell
**edit**
Fail, didn't read the whole post. Not sure if it has a PCI slot.
You really don't need a 2600k from your stated needs, save the $100 and go with a 2500k
Why not go with the z68 chipset?
RAM: you will not see any measurable performance gain with faster RAM.
SSD: consider the m4, its a great deal, but if you must, I would recommend a Vertex 3
Terrible PSU and...
I really don't think the 990x makes sense:
Here is why
For a 1/3rd the price, you get pretty much all the performance.
**edit**
Sample build that will get you 98% of the way there, except for zip compression/decompression, x264 pass 2 encoding
2600k $315
mobo $150
16 GB Ram $150
Total: $645...
