1. Corsair's fans are not good.

2. You can get a better motherboard.

3. There are better cases for less.

4. YOU CHOSE THE BEST KEYBOARD AND MOUSE YOU COULD EVER CHOOSE :lol: (sorry for caps)

If you're only gaming this would be better

 

If you're paying $2700 you should get a 4790k. The fps difference right now is only a few percent, but it will likely be greater in the future and that will probably be one of the last major components to be replaced.

Also, he's getting it from Microcenter so it's super cheap.
