Is this a good mid range gaming build for an Intel? (if you are going to say "go Ryzen" i already have a build for Ryzen. Go jack off to this its basically the same hardware: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NovaMan/saved/4j47P6)

 

Here is the Intel build for review: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NovaMan/saved/xdzVnQ

Get a Z270 chipset

You don't really need high speed RAM for Intel

Most 580/570/470/480 are out of stock

Why 2 different SSD? If you want 240GB just get a 240GB single SSD, cheaper

I would get a Cryorig M9i or 212 Evo for same price, that LP cooler is cheap and not really perfoming well

 I'd recommend a 1tb hdd instead of two 120gb ssd, unless there was a really specific reason for it. Could also probably get a z270 board for same price excluding that 50 dollar rebate. Also would recommend getting a 1060 instead of rx 580 if you plan on buying right now, they perform similar, 1060 is cheaper, and you can actually buy it right now.

Why a micro ATX board on an ATX. It works but looks weird and ATX has more room for stuff

UV400 isn't amazing performance for its price. CS1311 (same price) or SU800 (more expensive for more storage) is better.

I was considering that too. Should i choose a different case based on that?

I will take that into account thank you.

I think you should. For me, it looks REALLY weird.

alright ill look into a new case

I think you should choose a different motherboard. If you are changing case, I would recommend the Carbide 88R
