Buy dual channel DDR4 16GB kit XMP not recommended for system stability choose default 2133.

 

That WD drive is made for mostly laptops get seperate SDD & HDD liquid cooling that K series proccesor is better.

 

What fans are these? where are the reviews you dont know about the noise and performance get something else.

That username and choosing a 970 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You don't need an SSHDD, the improvement is not even noticeable. I don't use any SSDs and my boot time is about 15seconds. You don't need extra case fans these days in most... "cases" hue, hue hue. That motherboard is way way way way overpriced for no performance gain. That hybrid drive is only 5400RPM so you will actually LOSE performance
