I would appreciate advice on any changes y'all think would be good to make. I've already got an H100i, and a 750w PSU from my old build that exploded over the summer. As far as fan choices go I picked the 120 mm fans to replace my stock H100i ones as intake, and the two 80 mm fans are for exhaust with the 200 mm for intake in the front. The STRIX from ASUS seems like the best non-ref 980 but I'm not totally sure, I'm certain about the CPU and Mobo though. Again with the RAM I would appreciate advice. I think that kit looks pretty sharp and has decent specs for the price, but I am definitely open to feedback. I've got an SSD and a 4TB HDD from my old build but plan on buying a 1TB M.2 drive as soon as that hits the market, I would buy that 512 GB Plextor one but the performance isn't that great over a normal SATA drive. I've heard rumors of Samsung OEM drive that might come to consumers though. At last thank you for your help this is only my second PC I'll be building so I'm still a bit of a newb.
