Hey, I need some help/advise on my build http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/ThePeteski/saved/gtY2FT. I just want to hear if there are any concerns or compatibility issues with what I have chosen. A few things to get out of the way:

- I want a red/Black theme to my computer

- I want to be able to upgrade once or twice

- I want he water cooling loop to keep the build cool & looking good

- I will be gaming (On high, not necessarily ultra settings) so an SSD is a given

and I wanted to chose some of the more reliable products out there

..... aside from that I just need some advice because I am buying soon (Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales)

Thanks :)

I'd drop the H100i and get a better GPU now. Overclocking that i5 will not bring anywhere near as good of a performance increase in gaming out of the box compared to getting a better GPU like this R9 290

the graphic settings in game have nothing to do with your SSD. its all about the GPU. 

may your framerates be high and your temperatures be low. #pcmr

Drop the after market fans. Get a less expensive ssd. Get a less expensive cpu cooler. Get a less expensive motherboard. Put all the savings into a better gpu - if you can afford a GTX 970, you can also get a smaller psu.

 

What case?

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
