Heyo, welcome to the forum!

 

While I don't like the look of that case, I won't stop you from getting it. However, I don't think you'll benefit from having so many fans, and I also don't think you'll benefit from having such a beefy PSU unless you want to go for SLI later, which you haven't mentioned.

 

I don't know much about the cooler you've chosen, but it looks like it'd be less great than the Hyper 212 Evo, which is meant to be the budget gamery overclocking sweet spot cooler. Go with whichever you please, I'd just recommend the 212 Evo as it's beefier and that might be useful for you.

 

Last thing I'll say is that it's apparent you've used PCPartPicker, but unhelpfully so: You haven't given us the parts list link so it'll be a real pain to recreate it.

Hello and thanks for replying ! Yes I do believe I will go for another SLI , and I was looking at the hyper 212's earlier today but don't know whether to get those or the CRYORIGS fans.

850w is not needed at all

M9i is not a great cooler

Why WD black?

MX300 is better value SSD

 

 

[Zach Hooper]

The MX300 looks to be unnecessarily expensive in comparison to the Samsung SSD's. I'm looking for a 250GB that's not too expensive for my build. I went with the 850w because I want to have a little bit more than enough since it is my power supply. What would you recommend on coolers?
