Second time builder, the first time I built my PC with the help of my dad about 5-6 years ago. I'm planning on actually purchasing the parts throughout next year.
I'm looking to do some 144 Hz gaming on games like Overwatch, as well as other more casual sp games like Witcher 3, Mafia 3, FarCry, etc. I'd like to be able to run these games smoothly (<80 fps?) on at least medium settings.
I'm hoping to spend <$1000 on my build excluding monitor but will go over if it's justified.
Here is my proposed build

I'm also going to be getting filters for my intake fans, thinking of these.
For cooling, is two intakes on the front and one exhaust on the back enough?
Also considering swapping my motherboard for the Asus Z170-P.
If anyone has questions, suggestions, or general advice please let me know!
