I'm gonna post updates for my very first build here.
For now I only have the computer case. (Meshify C by fractal design)

So I wanted to ask others if my parts list makes sense or not.

Here is the list: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/XJbZnn

Good parts list. Are you planning on buying another 8GB stick of RAM some point in 2018 when the RAM prices go down?

Yes because prices are high at the moment.

 

Please keep in mind:

IF they come down in 2018. I hope to also buy another kit of 2x4 but i think the prices might remain high for a while.

I'm going to use the included "wraith spire" cooler for now.
Might get an upgrade some day though...

Looks like a good well rounded system! Nice choices!

 

Also, you may want to consider adding additional front case fans. Case includes one intake, and one exhaust.

Your motherboard supports up to four case fans.

Share any interests with me? Feel free to message me just to chit chat about whatever.

My case supports up to 6 fans.

But my motherboard only supports 4 fans.

 

Do you know a way to use 6 fans regardless?

 

I might do that some day...

sure, there are three ways that come to mind.

 

1. Use fans that have molex power connection. Just make sure your power supply has the 4 pin molex connectors. If you do this, the fans will run at 100% speed 24/7

2. Buy a 3 or 4 pin PWM fan cable splitter. just check how many pins are on your fans. A 3 pin fan will work in both 3pin and 4 pin splitter. A 4 pin fan will only work on a 4 pin splitter.

3. Buy a fan hub. These come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Make sure you get one that will connect up to your system. (commonly requires one SATA power connector and one USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.)
