About the list

The motherboard is the low end MSI board, with crappy VRM's which means it's not the best for overclocking.

 

Having a higher capacity SSD would be good.

I'd grab a 2700X, but hey I'm biased  (decided to grab a 1TB firecuda SSHD for Linux so it performs a bit better).

Decided to go with 2 HD’s instead of 3. Any big issues with this build? Really want to stick with air cooling, kinda gun shy about having liquid in or around my pc.
