Instead of Windows pro get home theirs like no difference at ALL!

To save money instead you can go with (2x16gb) of the same ram if you want I can give you the link to amazon.

Instead of that case go with a Phanteks case

OR

A Corsair 4000d airflow case.

if you dont care about RGB, i would rather go for the arctic liquid freezer II cooler. its much better and much cheaper too. There is a GamersNexus review if you want more details. the samsung pro drive seems unnecessary. for a gaming machine, the extra speed will hardly make any difference especially when other drives are cheaper and perform almost the same.

 

Edit: that case does not have good airflow so your temperature will be higher

for a high end build like this, 4 sticks is going to look nicer and having dual rank dual channel is going to help performance

there are actually some differences that are deal breakers for some. I would rather just get a windows 7 ultimate key and then use it for win10. i think it still works and you cooul potentially save money.
