So later today, I'm going to my nearby retailer shop to buy a few things. 

 

Just wondering what most people would choose?

 

Crucial MX100 512 GB or Crucial MX100 256 GB with Bitfenix Spectre Pro Fans ? 

 

Also is Asus PCE N53 a good wifi card enough for streaming and gaming?

I would choose the 512 GB any day, unless you really need more fans.....

as far as the wifi adapter goes, it appears to have good speed but the reviews on newegg are very mixed with concerns over build quality and breaking over time. Your call I'd say, but the price is great if it does work for you.

When in doubt, re-format.

Simple. Is the fan or extra 256GB worth more to you?

 

And streaming as in streaming from PC to TV, or just watching streams?

 

If just watching streams then yes it will do the job.

As in Streaming games onto Twitch, I'm not sure about how well my temperature will be since I have yet to put together my computer.

Yeah I feel the 512 GB would be more beneficial to me, until I see the temps of course xD

I read some of the reviews as well, it bothers me a tad, and not sure what else would be good for me. Have any recommendations? That would be awesome :D

You'll be fine streaming that way. You will bottleneck on the internet bandwidth well before maxing out a 600Gb connection. Most subscriptions have a lower UL than DL anyway.

 

How many fans do you already have? What GPU, CPU and cooler will you be using?

Yeah I kind of guessed that 

 

2 stock fans. 140mm rear and 200mm front. Along with getting the Corsair H110 later today as well.

CPU: I7 4790K

GPU: Galax HOF 970

I'd say you don't need more fans unless there are unoccupied front/top fan spots.

 

Put the rear 140mm as intake and you're all set up with high pressure. Your H110 will come with two 140mm's to serve as exhaust.

 

Your 970 won't produce much heat and will be more than happy with the 3 fans on its overbuilt cooler.

If anything I might just put 240 on the bottom for intake later on if necessary. Though thanks for all the advice !

Hopefully everything will work out fine for me. 

Just afraid I might need to switch out the wifi card if it starts to bottleneck too much for me
