Hello everyone. I am currently putting together a new build and would really appreciate some feedback on how it is looking so far. I feel like I have everything I need right now, as far as the main parts go, and now I was wondering if there was anything extra I could add to it. For example, extra fans or what not. I am considering getting a fan controller; I have found one so far:
NZXT Sentry-2 5.25" Touch Screen Fan Controller
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992005
Is there anything else I could get that I am not thinking of right now?
Thanks for the help.
Here is my build as it sits right now:
My only questions for this build right now is about the graphics card, the R9 280X. I am not exactly sure on which version to get; I was going to get the Sapphire Toxic, but it has been out of stock lately and I have not been able to catch one while they are in stock. So, I am willing to grab a different version of the R9 280X, but I am just not sure on which one. Any help deciding on which version I should get would be awesome.
And here is the template from the sticky:
