Do you HAVE those parts, or is that a build you'll be getting?

I already have everything on that list lol; and the headphones were a gift about 3 years ago

Well, then all you can do is add an SSD.

 

Maybe upgrade the monitor to a 1440p.

I second the SSD, and raise a custom loop (if you feel adventurous)  :lol: .

 

...oh wait....second monitor is a must..should have seen that.

I've considered a custom loop but it seems so involved, also I DO have a second monitor (using the term monitor loosely); it's just an old TV lol

Other than the SSD, your build is done...I am so used to my second monitor it would feel really weird to have just one now. 

 

The custom loop would be cool, but like I said:  you have to be adventurous if it would be your first... and it is expensive. 

 

What about fans?  Are they loud?  A good fan controller maybe?

Perhaps, but the Corsair Air 540 has some nice 140mm low RPM fans and they are nicely placed for good airflow
