Recommendations about this build

Hello, I know that maybe you are tired about newbies asking about builds, but I need your opinion about my first build ever. In 2 months I'm going to the US to visit some cousins and purchase the components for my build.

I took the 750W PSU because I want to get another card in the future (for SLI), I tried to pick the parts very carefully, trying to make something like a budget-high-end PC.

I'm not sure about the case also, I'm thinking about using the Fractal Design Define Mini instead, but I'm not sure If I'll be able to SLI in the future. Another thing that worries me is the CPU Cooler, I was thinking in getting a Corsair H100i liquid cooler, but I'm scared of leaks and the Hyper 212 EVO has some pretty good reviews (and costs a lot less).

What should I do?

P.S. This is my alternative build

Best regards.

If you look at my sig, you'll see I have what you are looking at building, or at least one possible version of it. I absolutely love it.

@jimthenagual
Yeah that's very similar to what I have in my mind! My favorite part is the Corsair H100i, it makes the whole thing look clean. However, I heard that the stock fans of the H100i are pretty noisy, is that true?

I heard the same thing, and didn't even try the stock fans. I went straight for the corsair quiet version fans. I also swapped out the front 140mm fan for 2 120mm quiet fans, and that back fan you see in the picture as well is the quiet version.

I have a mild 4.2 overclock, and temps stay at around 65c when gaming so I'm happy with that.
