Help with my first build

[Tran]

Hi so I am building my first gaming PC and I've ran into a problem, and wanted to ask if for help.

So here is my build so far http://pcpartpicker.com/list/r4kb8K

I was wondering if a Corsair H100i v2 could fit in a Corsair SPEC-ALPHA ATX? Please I really need help on this before I make the purchase.

the only thing i would change its the WD BLUE you can get Better/reliable drives for like 10 bucks more, the Blue line isnt that good its just cheap, everything else looks that will do Pack a serious punch, altho the new cards are out i will still try to Hunt an RX-480 or GTX 1060 and if not possible, try to aim for an R9-380 380X it does outpeform the 960 costing the same

I was going for a EVGA GTX 1070 but my budget is actually around 1.2k so I decided to just go for the MSI GTX 960 going with my black and red theme, but also I was considering throwing out the HDD and just adding a Samsung 500GB Evo, do you think that's a good idea to minus out the HDD and just have a bigger SSD?

well i do advice having the best of both loads of storage and a boot up key program ssd so basically any 128gb model will sufice unless you want games on it or to use it as a cache, if your budget is 1.2k deff wanna go with a gtx 1060 or RX 480

Yea I would but that is including a keyboard and mouse, so that would be way over 1.2k if i would get a 1060

Hmm usually Asus Hero series Boards have Wifi and are black and red, but i strongly suggest getting a cheaper one and then a dicent  PCI-E add in card (i use one it does fine up to 100mb dual band pci-e 1x)
