Help on new pc

[resin34]

I had made this build from parts I think are good.
But I am not super ultra techy so can you tell me if i missed or should add something.
Like fans, better case ect.

here is my build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ogYC


Approximate Purchase Date: about a month

Budget Range: 1000 - 1300

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, internet ect.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes



Parts to Upgrade : everything (build from scratch)

Do you need to buy OS: Yes


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none

Location: Near DC

Parts Preferences: by brand or type: I like intel and I some what like nvidea

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe later

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (the monitor in the build above)

Additional Comments:will be playing some old games (portal/tf2) and new (planet side)

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:I want to run games smooth on pretty high resolution also run programs quickly

I would really like advice on putting the PC together.
Thanks in advance.

Do not purchase that CPU fan - get a Hyper 212 Evo instead. Also the V4 is horrible, it uses a slow and outdated controller. And don't go cheap on the case either.

I'd suggest this for a $1200 budget:

Then with the difference add monitor and whatever else you may need.
