Making a build for my friend (yes again). He's looking for the 500 area. nothing above around 600 at all. This is what I put. He's gaming. 

 

Yes I know I put a fan on a locked processor. As a person with a locked processor, it felt necessary buying an aftermarket cooler as my temps on my stock were around 95c on load. Yes I know put a z97 board with a locked processor. It's about the same price, even cheaper than most decent h97 boards with a lot more features. I was wondering if this was a good build for what he's doing. gaming. If you guys have any other suggestions or a completely different build list. I would prefer it with an aftermarket fan (it's a must in my opinion), and he would prefer it to be this price or a bit cheaper. Located in US. using US dollars. Using 1 1080p monitor. Just looking for build only

looks really good! the fan on the 212 is louder than you might think though

anything quieter than the stock fan is good enough for me haha. + good price. i also have the 212 in my build currently.
