Get an h110 water cooler instead, 140mm radiators are worthless :/

From experience your ram will most likely not be able to run at 3200MHz, so just go down to 2400 or the max the         motherboard can go up to without xmp, its a gimmick for everyone except heavy video editors with xeons who can actually be overclocked, AND push the ram all the way up

Shipping sucks

Im planning on building this for gaming/streaming and want to know if its good before i buy the parts and if anything youd change let me know keep in mind im on a 1k budget

I woudnt recomend AIO water coolers, as you can get high end air for the same price outperforming it. I would also add an SSD when possible for better boot times. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.
