It took a while but I think this is it.

Please leave any recommendations you can think of.

 

I am reusing an old hard drive so don't worry about the lack of storage.

Your build looks really good but I would take an air cooler over the liquid one, just because its ( most ones at least)  close to silent in idle where as the liquid cooler always has the pump running and makes a lot of noise.

The H60 isn't going to give you much headroom when it comes to overclocking, if you have the room look into a H100/115i or even a NH-D15.

Two small suggestions. A different cpu cooler, very good performance and reasonably quiet. A better psu with a longer warranty.

Sorry but I can't spend that much.

If you look carefully you will note that the cpu cooler I suggest is the same price as the H60 in yours and the psu is only $5 more!  If you need to save a bit, change out the Noctua NH-U12S for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  which is under $30.

I would get some faster 3000MHz Ram depending on the price. 

 

The H60 is a bit rubbish to be honest for the price. A CoolerMaster Hyper 212 would be cheaper and perform just as well.

 

The rest looks ok.
