I'd consider a different mechanical HDD, Speaking from experience the p300/x300 drives are annoyingly loud when data is being accessed/written.

Not that you'll hear it over all of those case fans, don't care how good the fans are that PC is gonna sound like Airwolf taking off when you turn it on.
 
Dumped the unnecessary crap , removed the sli simply because it'll only work anywhere close to optimally 50% of the time.
Just buy one card now , wait for the next gen of cards to drop so you can get a single card that is actually capable of 4k 60fps at max settings (the 1080ti is not although its pretty damn close)
Soon as you open the box a GPU is second hand & you lose 1/3rd of the retail price because the warranties are none transferable

Left the monitor & your screwdriver set in (although this rolson set is much better value for money & will be a lot lot more useful)

Only included the 3 led fans so you can replace the preinstalled 120mm ones with them.

2 x 140mm front intakes , 1 x 140mm rear exhaust + the 360mm rad as a top exhaust is going to be more than enough.

I second this. If you wanna spend more money then get a larger SSD and a better monitor instead of all the other useless stuff.

how would i control the fan speed without a fan controller. I presume there is something on the motherboard.
 
2 front fans connected to the chassis fan board headers , rear exhaust connected to the CPU opt fan header.

All are pwm controllable (those fans are pretty much silent full rpm anyway)

That board also has aura sync lighting , a few built in LED's onboard & also has rgb headers so you can fit cheap 5050 rgb strip lights as well should you feel the needm
