GPU: Ordered a gtx1080 a month ago....still on back order.  I do have an old HD 770 kicking around or possibly a gtx1060 off a buddy

Still need to figure out

Case fans: TBD.. maybe noctuas?
CPU Cooler: Either my old Noctua NH-U12P SE2  or potential a NH-D15 but i know that one is an extremely tight fit in this case... so debating if its worth the upgrade

 

Is there anything else im missing?

For fans, I would definitely recommend either the Corsair ML120/140  or the inwin polaris fans, I have both of them and they are really quiet and very good at cooling.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
