I think this setup looks pretty good - originally had an i7 6700k, but figured it was too much. What do you think, and how could I make it cheaper?

GREAT BUILD but that board only runs 2133 or 2400mhz. modules.

By modules you mean memory, right?

I'd also get a better fan than a Hyper 212 - there's much better that has come along since like the Cryorig H5, Phanteks TC-12PE or the Noctua NH-U12S.

Yes , the modules you picked run at 2666 , but in this board they will run at 2400.

Thanks -
I looked at some and was confused, so I stuck with my first build and used the Evo

The 212 was a good cooler several years ago. It's been replaced by much better. I would definitely recommend taking a look at the Cryorig H5.

I would get the Cryorig H7.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was hoping to do liquid cooling in the future, but it's not in the budget right now.
I went with the Cryorig

Good to hear , will be a nice setup.
