What are your thoughts on it what should I add? I already have a monitor as well as kb and mouse. (I know I need fans just not sure what to go with)

The case comes with 2 fans so you won't need any extra unless you really want to swap them out.

 

Noticing the hue+ and x62, i'd personally say go for the gskill trident rgb ram, and some of the nzxt rgb fans just so you can control everything then

I heard the x62 Comes with the rgb fans. Is that true? Thanks for the suggestions. Will the case fans perform fine? I will be adding the ram and possibly the rgb fans.

I think the x62 comes with standard black/no led fans, not 100% sure on that

I have added a 3pack of the RGB fans is that enough? I won't be using the RGB Ram as its a bit too pricy. Possibly will be a later upgrade.

The 1080 is dropping so much right now, might want to save up for it instead of getting the 1070. Like even if you only need the 1070, the 1080 is about $70 more

Buuuut. Is the price-performance really worth the extra $70? (Could you link me to where there is a cheap 1080 with some RGB Features?)

The difference between the 1070 and 1080 is pretty significant. I lied, it's gonna be a bit more than $70 more in the $80-$100 if you want RGB features. Here is one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814487252 for $520

Swap out the Seagate SSHD for a standard HDD. Hybrid drives are pretty pointless.

I was thinking of going for that one just not sure if it would look nice. I need it to look like a slick build. Thinking of getting a white gpu backplate as the theme is white. Would it look clean? or is it just those weird plastic curves on the cpu?
