Yep. Although i would not bother with the LED strips. But if you like to look at your case then its a really good build.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

What ever you are comfortable with. google around to see what other people have managed to overclock to. You need to balance temps and performance and stability. Apparently my CPU will go to 5ghz but i don't feel comfortable taking it that high from 3GHz.

there will be no overclocking on that motherboard, you need a Z170 motherboard to overclock, otherwise i guess this seems pretty fine exept for the GPU, im guessing you want to use Shadow Play but in that case go with a 970 thats been used because there cheaper and better. oh and stay the shit away form TP.link's shit. they are horendus

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

If you're going to put a HDD, at least bump it up to 2-3TB.  1Tb is just too small these days.  But I'd be inclined to forgo the HDD, at least initially, and bump up to a 500gb SSD to start with.

Don't think you can overclock with that motherboard and consider getting a different power supply, CX series makes me a little nervous especially if you switch to a different board and OC the CPU. And get a different wifi card, I use that exact one and it works but has some issues.  But yes, this will work more than fine for 1080p and light 1440p gaming.
