I guess i decided on this processor for more uhh . braggin rights ... 

I dunno if i could if a liquid cooler as a rear in this case that why i didnt opt for it. 

What do you guys think of this?
Do you have and psu and fan recommendations? (trying to be as silent as i can + lighting for showin off)

No i will not consider AMD. 

 

I am planning on a 144hz monitor, but what keyboard should i get? i havea deathadder as a mouse and i am content with it.

you need a fully modular psu @ 550w:

 

EVGA 220-GS-0550-V1

2699 if you want braggin' rights, but other than that it looks good. i would recommend a fully modular PSU and and AIO liquid cooler with Corsiar SP120's.

[BigDay]

why not get a 390 instead of the 970? it out performs it. in terms of fans, if you can fit noctua's in there i'd go for those. for case ventilation, go with the nf-s12a pwm @ 120mm.

The 390 is hella loud tho.

@ArataMaou

1. added an excellent aftermarket cooler in the noctua u12s
2. added higher frequency ram
3. added a 390 as it will perform better. around the same price
4. added a fully modular psu @ 650w
5. added a noctua nf-s12a pwm fan for case ventilation

my mobo doesnt suppport that ram 

that fan looks horrible (aesthetics) 

im a new builder when it comes to a smaller case so i went semi modular for saving time and hassle .. 

[ArataMaou]

Can i ask .. is 550w enough for the build that i posted?

yes it does support it. you just need to see if it works. if it doesn't, you raise the dram voltage. the fan is the best on the market. your last statement made no sense. fully modular is the best for new builders. no bullshit wires.

 

you're welcome by the way

yea but your build is weak

Fully modular is better for small cases,

Personally get a cheap air cooler, you won't be overclocking on this anyways so a BeQuiet! Pure Rock is an excellent choice.

@BigDay has a good built. Turn the noctua into a pure rock, add some ?BitFenix led fans or BeQuiet fans.
