That is my parts list as of 12/8/2014. (May Update With Suggestions) Things to note are I want to keep it I7, and have an Asus mobo. Case wise I like the look, plus I feel it offers good fan airflow. (correct me if I am wrong)

Things I am concerned about would first be the PSU. I chose it off the fact it is Modular, 80+Bronze, and the color. Is this a good choice, or are there other options available?

Also you may note the Samsung SSD as well As drive bay adapter. I am very unclear on what to do regarding system memory. As of now my main library consists of Arma 2-3, DayZ with Mods, LoL, and a few pictures. I don't download very much music or Video. Of course I plan to expand this in the future with games, But am unsure if I should stick with a Large SSD or go with a small SSD/HDD combo.

Ram is undecided upon, I think 8gb would do fine for me but with so much selection its hard to wrap my head around. Any recommendation would be appreciated, blue/Black color scheme would be great

Is a dedicated CPU cooler necessary if I don't plan on overclocking? Any major problems just sticking with the Stock one?

Thanks for reading, and any and all input will be much appreciated.

you're good to go with the stock cooler on the cpu.. You can always change it later
