More case fans ?

Oh yeah, missed the 750D.  I would snag some Be Quiet, noise blocker or Noctua fans

Do you actually need all the RAM? I would get faster ram for such a high end build. 

Don't get a 5400 RPM HDD, get a 7200 RPM one.

I would get a newer case. Something like the Evolv ATX TG. But of course personal preference. 

And get the PG279Q, not the PG278Q. IPS Panel

Get a larger 1tb SATA ssd instead, other that that looks good.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I would not obscure almost half of the bling bling motherboard with a cpu cooler. Consider going with an H100i v2. It brings the total number of fans to 5 and exposes more of the pretty motherboard lighting. Doing this will also eliminate the problem with the memory modules being too tall to fit under the NH-D15 outer fan.

 

G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-3000 Memory is less expensive and has slightly better timings. The kit would not work if you stick with the NH-D15. In which case consider Corsair - Vengeance LPX 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory which has even better timings, but is more expensive.

 

SeaSonic FOCUS PLUS 850 GoldEVGA SuperNOVA 850, and Corsair RM850x are less expensive and arguably as good or better psu.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
