Pretty good, but for the love of god(or not if you are an atheist) JUST please, remove that SSD and change it for another one like an mx100 or an 850 evo, that SSD is trash.

Is this one good? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e120bam

I suggest an air 540 case (it comes with 3 fans) and 2 AF140 fans to go on the top of it and the d15 cooler is crazy good. 

 

The Air 540 case is amazing I highly recommend it for air cooling builds.

Would it be much better than the NZXT 450

In euros it's only about 20 dollars more. and idk if the nzxt case has it but the air540 has a shit ton of room for cable management which imo is worth the 20 extra dollars alone.

Uhh. There is no bottleneck for SATA SSD's. M.2 SSDs are fast but I'd still go for a SATA one.

I didnt mean bottel neck as in using a really crap CPU with a titan X. Just going past 6gb

You don't understand what bottlenecking means. Why would you even need to get a bandwith more than 6GB/s it's already fast.
