The only issue I can see is that the DH14 is massive and might interfere with other components, considering that it's μATX. Are there grounds for this fear?

Yes

One input + output

In terms of graphics I completely forgot some things; I also intend to play Dark Souls 3/Fallout 4, probably others down the line as well.

I took the rest of it into account,

I've been planning on building a new computer for a while and figured I would during Cyber Monday.

Specs wanted:

• VGA/DVI-I x1
  
• DVI x1,
  
• PS/2 x1
  
• Back-panel USB x4
  
• Front-panel USB x3
  
• Front panel audio x2
  
• I have a CRT at 135hz, so enough to make that smooth in TF2 6v6 with a maxframes-type config/windowed borderless with a second monitor.
  
• In terms of other games, being able to play nearly-contemporary games (BFBC2/BF3/KF2) without any noticeable issues at mid settings is fine.

So far, I have this:

Total: $1242.06

Rationale:

6600k: Video games, Code Composer Studio (bloated IDE for embedded processors), VMWare. No i7 because I don't stream and rendering isn't be a major concern. I'm not sure if I need the -k, but it seems that the OC is worth the $40.
212 EVO: It's cheap and I've used it before. Completely open to suggestions on this; I don't know very much about coolers.
Z170A: Abundant USB ports, PS/2, surprisingly cheap. Looks too good to be true, but so far I haven't found any issues with it. I'm never going to use SLI/Crossfire so I can live with the lack of support.
DDR4 16GB: VMs and (probably unnecessary) multitasking. DDR4 because I'd like to avoid any headaches down the line and might as well have the unnoticeable performance boost. $25 more than the DDR3 equivilant.
850 Pro: I'll be honest; I don't know enough about SSDs to make an informed choice. I chose the best-rated >500GB SSD under $250.
970: I've read a lot about how the r9 390 outperforms it, but also about how much the 390 either underperforms in benchmarks or games. Also, I like Nvidia Inspector and haven't seen much to disprove the age-old "better drivers" argument.
Case: When my old 212 died, it was because I had a case window that I even noticed it. Additionally, extra front-panel USB ports is always nice. Heavy build quality is great, since I'll be carting it off to college next year.
PSU: Again, I'm not very knowledgeable about this component. Good (and abundant)reviews and a reasonable wattage rating are all I'm going on.
CD reader because I might need one and it's $17.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

• movement of last point severely reduces importance of pipe, makes passive last holds significantly harder
  
• last point itself is completely out of place, slight elevation over a displacement combined with nearby supports/boxes/tires make it way too strong of a position in post-fight 1v1/1v2 situations
  
• removing props/non smooth in dropdown negates its purpose; it shouldn't be safe/winnable for someone going up dropdown
  
• widening the sides of mid discourages taking high ground as soldier, makes 1/2 height crates even more of a death trap
  
• pushing back 2nd forward makes the typical Z repush strategy less valid, one of the more interesting parts of the map. arguing that granary is the only rotation map with a forward that far forward doesn't take into account that it forces any fast repush after losing 4 to go through Z
  
• removing various props/quirks in map geometry as "clutter" is removing those places for players to "bring some flair to their movement"
  
• removing hiding spots is simply a bad principle; any good player knows of them and they give more options to roamers in an increasingly scout-dominated game. additionally, no-colliding every single wall prop simply makes the map bland; I've never heard someone complain about these being annoying/unfair.
  
• changes to last spawn from the perspective of a defending team are negated by moving the point forward; it takes a comparable amount of time to get to point. arguing that the rocket room encouraged hiding for backcaps is irrelevant; process has a similar room and granary's is easier to check since it's on the way from spawn.

most of the interesting aspects of granary are in the contrast between its simple/open main path between points and cramped/complicated flanks. clearing out flanks and encouraging monolithic pushes via large, open doors (i.e. connector from mid) makes the game simpler and blander.

of all people to actually be right

Also fuck cp_granary_heresy it got rid of most of the hiding spots, map quirks, interesting geometry, and really everything that made it worth having in the pool, evidence that catering to the unwashed hordes who actually post in map threads is an awful idea.

Not in the sense that there's a boring second entrance to each point whose sole function is to allow soldiers to watch themselves be chipshot for 1/2 the game, sure. Lunchbox and really that whole half of 2 is probably one of the most entertaining flanks in the game though.

Even ignoring lunchbox there's plenty of opportunities for interesting movement. Both pipes on last as well as the actual last point are great, so is the variety of jumps/surfs from catwalk on mid. The only place devoid of interesting geometry is yard, and its surroundings make up for it.

I can't think of a map with more viable but reasonable mids/pushes/hiding spots, which is definitely a plus for variety in playstyle.

The only way it's obsolete is that it's been played the longest of any map in rotation (?) and people already (should) know how to play it. Removing/changing maps because they're old is moronic; what other competitive game does that?

Didn't know that, good to know.

Viaduct makes perfect sense considering how much it encourages retard sniper mains.

Metalworks and sunshine are two maps which no one likes to play in league so they naturally avoid them in pugs. How often are those maps scrimmed outside of their respective weeks?

The only people who dislike granary are people who don't know how to play it and scout mains mad at not being the de facto best dm class.

this is getting out of hand

I'll stream my own games if anyone's interested: http://twitch.tv/waldotf2
