So I have been working on a build for about three weeks now so tell me what you think. Also the site says that there is a compatibility issue but I am not sure if it correct but please correct me if I'm wrong also I am not set on the cooler I just put something random the only thing I know is that I don't want a liquid cooler for personal reasons. I am set on everything other than the ssd, cooler (air cooler), and case. I would prefer something that already comes with rgb led fans but it's not too big of a thing also form factor for case must be micro atx case, also the price shouldn't rise above 1300$ otherwise I just won't do it at all. So please don't just say "oh you can get more money in a couple of days or even weeks right?".Nope this build is not for me it is for a friend and I am paying for all of it. The person I am giving this computer to will scold me and hate me (kinda) for making this any more than 1300$. Also if you try to recommend I wait for the GTX 1070 or Polaris GPU or ZEN CPU, then you can go drink bleach. Seriously I am more than set on the CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, or any other parts other than the ones I said I wasn't sure I would use. So please review and look over the system that I have built and make some suggestion on some other SSD, air cooler, and a case. Thanks in advance.

The air cooler may be too tall to fit inside of the case, that's what the warning is for. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 may fit.

 

EDIT: Ah, the case you selected has a lot of cooler height restrictions! I threw one in that looked alright at http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kXc8FT, but you should shop around for what PC PartPicker gives you for CPU coolers.

Wow, nice attitude.

Same overall performance for less, with a more overall functional case I guess, if you wanna waste money on asthetics thats on you man

 

The 390 is going to give you more overall performance than the 970 especially in DX12 titles that properly utilize A-sync

Also why the $80 wireless card? This one is 30 bucks with support up to AC

sorry but I have had enough of that shit man. I am not trying to come off as rude but I personally could not give a crap about the new hardware coming out. 

You're getting 20-30% more performance on average with new hardware vs old hardware. and at around the same price point
