High end gaming build

[WittyRacoon554]

Hi everyone!  I am in the market for my first gaming pc.  I'm a heavy fps player who likes stealth games as well (If that matters).  What do you guys think of this build?  

 

Thanks in advance!

Aside from overpaying on somethings, none of the part choices are bad persay, so fine.

A sound card will not make a difference unless you have a $1000+ sound system in place already

 

Might want ta got faster RAM it starts becoming relevant on high-end systems. DDR4-3000 is bprobably the sweet spot.

grab an asus mobo something like a z170-a

Have a look at powerline adapters rather than a wifi adapter.

You should get a much faster connection on powerline if you can't run a physical cable between your pc and router/modem.

IMO I would drop the razer mouse for a rival 300 and the free mouse pad because it is higher quality and you can save 50 combined on the mousepad and mouse.

I have used TP-Link and Devolo ones in the past, and they both worked fine for Me.

 

Something like this maybe:

I would change the AIO to the mostly unrivaled Kraken X61. Beware: it's a bit of a tight fit on the S340.

EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  is only a few $ more, is a little more efficient, and has slightly better performance.

Which one is a tight fit?

The Kraken is, since the S340 has support for 140mm fans but thu additional bulk of the 280mm rad means it only goes in one way

Linus talks about 280mm rads a bit in this video.

Fractal Design Define R5 or Define S are both great options.

 

For a bit less there's the Enermax Ostrog GT, I like that one as well (It's found as ECA3280 on pcpp)

Would the r5 comfortably fit the kraken?

i personally would get an asus motherboard and switch out the corsair h110i for an nzxt kraken x61.  i have it and i love it.  the tubing is so much more flexible then the corsair
