Hi! I'm upgrading my PC and wondered if you'd be kind enough to offer some feedback on my potential choices. I primarily use the system for gaming. I may also setup duel boot OSX for work programming numerical astrophysics codes, however, bulk storage wont be an issue.

Any suggestions to aesthetics also welcome. Planning to buy some led lighting down the line.

I already have the GPU and PSU.

Thanks very much for your time!

It looks pretty good. I would rather have a mid priced air cooler like a CRYORIG H7 or H5 and a 525GB Crucial MX300 ssd. Don't overpay for RAM. Corsair Dominator Platinum memory tends to be vastly overpriced.
