This was a budget pc build, my target price was around $1100-$1200, including a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a headset.

There are two things you might call me out on:
1) I know that i dont need the case fans, Those are purely for looks.
2)I know that those might not be the best mouse/keyboard but they went with the red theme.
3) I could add in a SSD for ~$70 but Im happier with this price and want to stay as close as possible to it.

Did I chose well for my price?
Is there something I could change?
This is a mainly gaming build
I really need to know if that was a good headset for the price as well, I am terrible at chosing headsets that sound nice and have a good mic [and look nice].

I would change the Motherboard to one from ASUS or AsRock, change the RAM to some by G.Skill or Corsair. Also, if you were to get a cheaper case, you could probably work in a SSHD from Seagate. I have one in my desktop and really like the performance boost I got over a standard HDD.

I would recommend not using razer headphones. They make great mice but their audio is very gaming oriented which makes sound quality suffer. Look at sennheiser, they have some great options. In the high end they have the G4ME Series, or other pc headphones for a smaller budget.

Also you can get a cheaper h87 or b85 motherboard from a higher end company such as Asus, for cheaper.
