Gaming/Content Creation Build <$2200

Hello,

 

So I've been scratching my head about this build for about a year now, and it has evolved a great bit before i've actually become somewhat content with it. As of now I would love to have any suggestions regarding the case and the method for cooling the CPU. I cant decide between the Silencio 652S, the Corsair 450D, or the NZXT H440. I would prefer the first two, because of the fan controller and space and I also planned on painting part of the case blue to match the inside components (excluding the H440). Regarding cooling I would like something that's under $110, provides efficient cooling for a moderate overclock, and runs quietly. I plan on attempting to overclock the CPU into the 4.2 to 4.5 range. Help would be greatly appreciated.

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

Only 8 cores? And I don't think 3 titans would be enough for what i'll be doing (rocket surgery)   :P  In all seriousness though do you recommend any changes for MY build?

That build looks really nice! Now that I think about it i'm not really sure why I didn't go X99 in the first place with my budget.. Thanks for the help so far. why did you choose a sandisk SSD over the smasung though? was that purely to stay in budget?

Yep, it was just to get a decent one that stays in budget.

The EVGA is a great power supply, but this is even better (And it costs less).
