not a big an of the case personally but if you like it it is fine. I would however wait a bit to upgrade your graphics card but it is up to you. It is a sensible and good upgrade.

No need for new fans or thermal paste for Hyper 212.

 

Not sure where you're getting your bluetooth dongle, so you're on your own there.

Maybe this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833139027

 

This should be a better list of upgrades: http://gyazo.com/c404409a2b7a6e893b007b17ac2af1fc

Try to squeeze in a SSD. Either Kingston or Samsung [Depending on budget], otherwise sounds decent :)

I would like to add an ssd but the larger sizes are just to much id want a 256gb one minimum if I did get one anyways so im going to wait and see if prices drop like hdds did a while ago
