help with first good gaming pc

[noclue1987]

this is my first "good" computer" build i built my friend an okay one a few years ago and want to make sure im not missing anything important 

i already have the motherboard cpu and psu i dont plan on going into 2 or 4k resolutions any time so i think i have a good list but want to make sure

case: nzxt phantom 410 white

psu: thermaltake smart m850w

motherboard: gigabyte ga-970a-ud3

cpu: amd fx-8350 w/ nzxt kraken x60 (i want to do basic oc it but haven't looked into it so if you can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated)

storage: samsung 840 evo 250 W/ wd black 2tb hdd barracuda 2tb hdd

ram: corsair vengance 8gb 1600MHz (2x4gb)

video card: msi R9 280 w/ kraken g10 and x40(want to do basic oc over stock as well)

 

my cpu was on sale for 25% off that is the olny reason i got it originally was going to get an amd fx 6350

 

any suggestions would be welcomed and thanks for looking at my post

I'd get a cheaper cooler for a light oc. A 212 Evo would be plenty.

Caviar blacks aren't worth the money over much cheaper barracudas.

The R9 280 isn't out yet. Also, there's no point replacing the Msi Twin Frozr cooler as it's an excellent cooler to begin with and handles overclocks very well.

First off, if your overclocking just get an 8320. They are dirt cheap right now and they are just underclocked 8350s. Like WoodenMarker said, get a Caviar Blue or a Barracuda. I have experience with the barracuda and I have had it for 4 years with no failures. Unless you are going for some extreme silence or overclocks, dont go water. You can get a hyper 212 for the CPU and get some solid overclocks with good temps too.

i want to water cool it because i basically sit on top of my computer so with it being so close i need it to be as quiet as possible

msi cards

msi cards

I don't get what that has to do with the G10.

The Twin Frozr is quieter than the G10 with an AIO.
