That card is a toaster, earrape fans will have to run always at 100% to keep it under 80C, I clicked graphics card section and there's the inno iChill X4 or the MSI AERO for a few more bucks, personally and with that case I wouldn't spend 108 Euro in some headphones or a flashy mouse, I'd use the money for a better card, or a better CPU cooler, I bet you can get a 240mm AIO with your budget

 

And remember: expensive peripherals won't make you be better at games, if you have the skill you can game with a $8 mouse and still carry your noob team to victory.

Thanks for your feedback, I've changed some things such as the graphics cards (to the INNO3D X4) and saved some money on peripherals as well. Would you recommend spending the extra money on a better CPU cooler or AIO?

If you want to keep that 8700k and maybe overclock it a bit go for liquid, funny thing is that the H110i is cheaper than the H105

not sure if it fits or how it'll perform with a closed front case though

if you don't mind temps go for air cooling

Right, I've changed my case to make room for a bigger CPU air cooler. I'm thinking of overclocking my CPU to about 4.8 to 5 GHZ, will the Dark Rock Pro I have now suffice? https://azerty.nl/basket/?code=YToxNDp7aToxNDIzMjYxO2k6MTtpOjM2NTQzO2k6MTtpOjIyNzk5NTtpOjE7aToyMjM0NzkyO2k6MTtpOjE0NjQyNzQ7aToxO2k6MTQwNjIzMjtpOjE7aTo0NjQzNjk7aToxO2k6NTMwMzc1O2k6MTtpOjE1NjA0MjQ7aToxO2k6MjIyMTgyMztpOjE7aTo1Mjc1MjI7aToxO2k6Mzc0Njk7aToxO2k6MjI1ODQzMjtpOjE7aTozNTU5OTg7aToxO30=

You'll need liquid for 4.8 and liquid+delid to hit 5, also some chips might not be stable at those speeds due to the silicon lottery, the case depends on if you're looking for performance or just looks, dunno there's the Focus G or the Masterbox 5 but they're not too.. eye candy tbh, there's the "Bitfenix Neos" but I don't think it has room for a front rad, the rest are mainly server cases and old models
