Aeacus Titan Ambassador Mar 21, 2015 12,579 1,930 80,390 Jun 11, 2017 #2 1. SSD Samsung 850 Evo is the market leader and it's far better than WD Blue SSD with slightly added cost, comparison: http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-850-Evo-250GB-vs-WD-Blue-250GB/2977vsm191455 pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3kL7YJ/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e250bam 2. PSU While EVGA SuperNova G2 is great PSU, 650W is too much for your system. You can do just fine with 500W range PSU, e.g Seasonic G-550, pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DPCwrH/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm 3. Case fan Corsair AF series fans have terrible performance and there are far better case fans available. For non-LED, either Arctic F14 PWM, specs: https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/f14-pwm.html or Noctua NF-A14 PWM, specs: http://noctua.at/en/products/fan/nf-a14-pwm For LED fans, Corsair ML series, specs: http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/cooling/ml-series-fans?fansize=140mm%20x%2025mm (I got 6x Corsair ML series fans in my Skylake build and i'm very pleased with their performance and looks. Full specs in my sig.)
