Overkill PSU. Downgrade to a evga g2 850/750 watts 

That's about it ( i would suggest 850 watts for multi GPU purposes ) Just in case if you ever go AMD or if the new chip in the future isnt as power efficent as the 900series

Get an 850 Evo. They're the same price. Also, maybe the EVGA 980? IDK, but I like the EVGA cooler better. Finally, get the H110i GT. It's the new version of the H110. Otherwise, it looks great.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

Yes, I do because cause....haha...no 1x3TB will be used as a backup for all computers, the other will backup that drive, and the third will be for all my movies & music so I can stream them to my 360.

 

Get an 850 Evo. They're the same price. Also, maybe the EVGA 980? IDK, but I like the EVGA cooler better. Finally, get the H110i GT. It's the new version of the H110. Otherwise, it looks great.

Thanks for the tips.

Well I was wondering about custom cooling down the road and if that 850 watt would be enough.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

I'll recommend NOT getting that mouse and keyboard. It's not that they are bad, but with peripherals, you HAVE to test them with your own hands. Sometimes, a much cheaper option will have a better tactile feeling than a more expensive one, once you actually grab it, and press it's buttons. Just trust me on this one, and go to a local store. You'll thank me later.

 

At any rate, here's an update. I gave you the best CPU cooler out there (in regards to looks). I'm sure you'll love it, as soon as you google it. I've made other minor tweaks as well. I hope you like it:

@ddbtkd456,

 

I would suggest a different memory kit, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory. Mostly because I like the looks of the modules and they are a little less expensive.

 

As has been suggested the 850 EVO is the same price, Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive. Actually there is an 840 EVO model that is $10 less expensive, but stay with the newer tech.

 

EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply should provide more than enough power. If you want a little more, EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR would be a good choice.
 
The motherboard has four chassis fan headers. There is no need for a fan controller. Use the motherboard headers and software to run the fans.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
