1. swap out h75 for h80i (or at least i would)

2. do not buy that kingston ssd

 

 

Thanks for the advice, 

 

But i will change the ssd I am getting, however for the psu I already have and I have the case already from my old build.

Plus is it worth changing to a h80i???

 

Thanks

I am not on a tight budget, I am flexible and for what I am going to use it for is gaming, editing on premier pro and other softwares and rendering out on after effects, cinema 4D and maybe maya after I learn it.

I prefer air coolers instead of 120/140mm RADS if you can't afford an AIO, they are safe(there is no leaking propability) and they cool just as good and they can be even quiter than an AIO.
