Some changes. The Kraken X61 is a better choice of cooler for the case. You will not notice any performance difference with the 850 EVO. GTX 970 are significantly less expensive and perform almost as well as GTX 980. The H440 comes with four very good fans. Plus the two on the X61 means that the add-on fans are not needed.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Do you think the blue ram will look weird on the motherboard and that i should go with black or white ram? Maybe go with corsair dominator platinum. Sorry for all the questions I just really don't want to mess up. This will be my first build.

I would just stick with the black ram and yes it will

maybe 2x4gb hyperX black and 2x4gb hyperX white?

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Although, unless you game at a extraordinarily demanding resolution, a pair of 980's is too much.
