Planning on building a high-end gaming PC with a budget of around 2000$ CAD. After spending a while finally came to a few decisions on the components I want. Plan to use a 1440p monitor. Not sure if I should use stock fans that come with the case or if I should buy higher quality aftermarket fans, and if I should buy aftermarket fans which ones should I get. Any suggestions on build?

Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler

Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card

Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case

EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

you need more power for that build, go for 600W or a bit more then that because 550W isnt really enough

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
