Hi Guys, first time posting(never ever posted on any forum) and first build, need some advice/tips on the components. I have listed below, the parts I am thinking of getting, please let me know if there any changes that I could make or if there is anything that I missed out on.
I will pretty much use it for gaming and I might just overclock down the line(not much though, I'm a complete noob in this area)
My main concerns are the cabinet, the cooler and the PSU. FYI average ambient summer temperatures here hit around 30C. Thanks in advance!

Note on Budget and pricing: I live in India, for the parts mentioned the price came out to be around 1.5 to 1.6 lakh INR (around 2400 US$, prices here are too high)

Note on Recommendation: Please recommend components which you feel are pretty similarly priced to what's been given below

  • Cabinet : Corsair Carbide 500r / Fractal Design define r5 / Corsair Crystal Series 570x
    PSU : EVGA Supernova 650 G2 / Corsair V650s
    HDD+SSD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB Desktop SATA + PNY 120 GB Internal SSD (Phantom 1)
    Mobo : Asus Prime Z270-a
    Ram : G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 SDRAM 2400Mhz F4-2400C15D-16GRR
    CPU+GPU: i7 7700k+ MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X
    Cooler : Cryorig H5 Universal CR-H5A Mid Tower CPU Heatsink with XT140 Fan

Fractal R5 is an awesome case.
PSU - the EVGA G2
Consider a Noctua U14s cooler (or d15 ir you want bigger). Ultimate max reliabilty & great performance /minimal noise. Noctua will send you mounting kit, free of charge to anywhere in the world, for any future mobo revisions if you need it. not sure price difference.

The big let down is your storage. Are you sure 2tb sufficient?? I wouldnt get a PNY ssd. How much price diff is a samsung 850 evo? consider a Crucial SSD if samsung price too much.

Hey, sorry for the late response was a bit busy with work, anyway, yea I'll have a look at Noctua U14s and as for the storage I can always add in more later. The SSD, yes you right I will go for Samsung Evo.

For the cabinet, do you think I need an extra 140mm fan as an intake?
