I would try to get a better PSU like a 550w from corsair or thermaltake, these companies have more credibility

What? That bequiet is a top of the line model.

 

Op save yourself money. An ak400 is a cheaper better an quieter cooler

For fans just use arctic ones dirt cheap and really good.

 

A 5700g is also overkill but like for that price why not.

 

I mean this whole thing is overkill but it's good.

 

Just one more thing. Where is the storage?

 

Also if you wanna consume even less power just have 1 case fan in the back that PLENTY for a system like this.

Ok thanks! And for storage I have an extra 2T Crucial MX500 6Gb/s SSD that I'm not really using. Just didn't put it in to keep it out of the price total
