Are you sure you need 5 extra fans? The case comes with 2.

Hello there,

You can save some money on that PSU. 750w is overkill. I'd recommend 500w PSU, 650w at the very most and even then its still way too overkill. Do you really need the aftermarket cooler?

On the PSU would this be a good change: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0550v1

For the cooler im going with it just to be safe as I spend a lot of hours on my pc (like alot)

I'll be replacing the fans that it comes with and place 1 exhaust fan at the back, 2 at the top and 2 intakes in the front

So this build is good?
I dont want to have anything that I could changed left

I get asked by many people on forums "Is this build good?". The answer depends on what you are going to be doing with it. Do you think it will be sufficient for your needs? If so, the build is good. If not, the build is bad because it won't be able to provide for you.

Just be aware of the B85 chipset limitations if you want to OC later on.

If i were to switch my board for oc later on could you suggest a board?
