Get memory that uses 1.5 volts not 1.65.
The CX power supply is not the quality I would be looking for Seasonic or XFX.
The spec 01 case only comes with one either get the spec 03 or buy anouther 120mm fan for the back blowing out.

I would recommend Cryorig H7 or Hyper 212 Evo for mild overclocking

NH D15 for higher overclocking.
