Thats really hard to read. Try pasting the pre-formatted thingy again.

 

As for built itself.

  • You don't need thermal paste, stock cooler has some pre-applied. If you want some extra, go for better brand.
  • Case comes with 2 fans. For optimal airflow you only need one more.
  • You don't need fan controller. But thats personal preference.
  • No HDD?
  • Do you really need wireless? Wired is still better for online gaming.
  • I would get better PSU than that basic Corsair one.

- You don't need thermal paste although it is nice to have

- That GPU is anemic for your budget, when you can get a 470 or 480. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hz648d/sapphire-radeon-rx-470-4gb-video-card-11256-00 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nxVBD3/powercolor-radeon-rx-480-4gb-red-dragon-video-card-axrx-480-4gbd5-3dhdv2

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nxVBD3/powercolor-radeon-rx-480-4gb-red-dragon-video-card-axrx-480-4gbd5-3dhdv2

- Might wanna get a motherboard that'll do 4 RAM slots so you can upgrade later

- This SSD is better and costs less https://pcpartpicker.com/product/D28H99/sk-hynix-sl308-120gb-25-solid-state-drive-hfs120g32tnd-n1a2a

- This PSU is much better for $2 more https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nB3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

Or this one which is fully modular https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze

- Don't get a fan controller, you can control your fans via your motherboard

- LED strip looks really expensive

- You're spending a fortune on case fans. Reuse the ones that already come with the case.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here
