Bump

[spartaman64]

case fans dont make that much difference in cooler so you should use the money to get a bigger ssd instead like this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sdssdhii240gg25

[brob]

Why the extra fan?

 

A 240GB+ ssd would be better.

 

A better psu, something around 600W - 650W, would be optimal.

Other than that, how does it look?

don't get OEM, you can't upgrade your motherboard if you get OEM windows, get retail version. I would spend $50 more and get the i5-4690k, I have one and love it

A 240GB+ ssd would be better.

A better psu, something around 600W - 650W, would be optimal.

Extra airflow

Extra airflow

case fans usually dont even make an entire degree of difference so a higher capacity ssd would be much better but i think the psu is fine if electricity isnt super expensive or something where you live

if you get a k cpu get a z97 motherboard as a h97 isnt made with overclocking in mind

Extra airflow

 

I doubt that it is needed. Not with the components going in the box. Just remove the middle drive bays to give intake air a clear path.

I don't plan on overclocking.

Which ssd do you recommend? Preferably under $100.

[BigDay]

what's your budget bro?

Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive or Sandisk Ultra II 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive are good choices.

Hey Beastattack,

 

Your plan seems generally pretty good. 

I would change a couple of things to make it more optimal. This CPU and motherboard don't allow overclocking so I don't think you need the CPU cooler (unless you want a bit more quiet build) so you are free to ditch it and use the stock one. 

I would go for a larger SSD since 120GB tend to fill up pretty quickly. 

The PSU is quite an overkill in terms of wattage. I would go for something like 600W.

Other than that you should be fine.
