PC Build Advice! All but CPU and MOBO

Hey All

 

I am building a new PC from my old one that I have. I use it only for gaming and minor photo editing. My budget is around $600 and right now I want to upgrade all the components except the CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU and motherboard as I want to try save up more for when the next gen comes out next year. I have the i7-4790K with the Z97 Asus Hero board, GTX 1070, 750W Gold PSU and 16GB ram. I am open to any suggestions regarding the rest of my build as in the case, fans/cooling, storage and anything else you may think is a good idea. Not looking for audio or peripherals. I live in South Africa but currently in the US to make the purchases so large items such as the case I will purchase back home. The fans I am also looking for a good combo of performance and silence.

 

This is what I had in mind at the moment:

 

Case: NZXT S340 elite $100 (Looking for a tempered glass side panel) 

https://www.amazon.com/S340VR-Elite-Computer-Matte-CA-S340W-B3/dp/B01LZQMXJT/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511803249&sr=1-1&keywords=s340+elite

 

Cooling: Kraken x64 aio (intake) $160

https://www.amazon.com/Kraken-Liquid-Cooling-System-RL-KRX62-02/dp/B06XX8Q1CL/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511803221&sr=1-1&keywords=kraken+x62

 

Fans: NXZT Hue+ with x2 120 fans (exhaust) $80

https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-RGB120-Bundle-120mm-Included/dp/B01N4G5ILV/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511803452&sr=8-2&keywords=hue+nzxt

 

Storage: 1TB 3D Sandisk SSD $280

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-NAND-SATA-SDSSDH3-1T00-G25/dp/B071KGRXRG/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

 

All comes to around $620

 

Thanks ALL

So, you're not looking at a new GPU either? Also if you don't care about the RGB aspect of the lights NZXT has some nice single color led airflow fans for around $15-20 a piece which might help you same some 

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.
