PC Build

[minecraftyeet1]

Hi, i need help with my build https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/3hLmFt

Should i replace anything here that would make it better, and people are telling me to take out my case fans but then how would the pc cool itself?

It's a solid build.

Is there a reasoning/justification behind  "people" telling you to remove the case fans (I.E. replace them)? I don't know why you'd do this, unless you're going for a silent build, in which case, I'd recommend just adjusting your fan curves.

The only change readily apparently for me would be a 144hz monitor.

We don't know, however what you plan to do with this rig. It's implied that it's gaming, is this correct?

You can usually get way cheaper cd keys for windows at scdkey for like 12 dollars so you don't have to pay that much down side though need usb or disk with windows 10 download on it

Correct

Generally, FD fans are pretty good quality. I'd recommend keeping them - perhaps adding another at a later date if your temperatures get bad. I also wouldn't recommend spending ~$40 on a single fan, but I understand prices are higher there.

 

The H7, overall, is a good cooler; however, they do have more defects than others and I'd never recommended paying $110 for it. Usually, it's around $40.

With that being said, a Noctua D15 - often listed as the best air cooler - is cheaper (if you're willing to buy from another company). I'd very strongly recommend that you switch over to it.  (Here's a link talking about directly comparing the two coolers: Reddit )

 

Regarding the GPU, if possible, you should wait a month before building. Nvidia's next-gen GPUs are set to release at Gamescom (August 21-25th). This should reduce the cost of the 1080 and similar cards. If you're not willing to wait a month, that's fine, but that's what I'd do if I was in your place.

What about the case fans? Don’t I need the three pack to control the leds? Or can I stil control the leds with the two single fans?

Fractal Design's case fans don't have any LEDs on them.

If you're talking about the Corsair fans, from what I can tell, you'd need to have the Lighting Node Pro to adjust the fan's colors. You could get one (through the three pack), but that's ~120$. Pretty expensive.
