It is a good upgrade but you could have saved money for things like just getting an extra 8gb of ram and saving $50. Otherwise good build. make sure you take time to make it beautiful.

The 8GB of ram I currently have a very old and wouldn't compliment my new build. I have OCD with cable management so it will be meticulously put together lol

I'd rather go for the H500P Mesh (Gunmetal or White) for better radiator clearance for you CLC

[Veramos]

I'm going to be looking into replacing the front panel with Mesh, Canadian Computers had no mesh cases in stock and didn't feel like waiting weeks for a new build just because of my case.

Wait. The Coolermaster H500 and the Coolermaster H500P are not the same case.

I myself own a H500P with Coolermaster's mesh front panel mod which was sold separately for 15€ is my region.
In Europe, we have retailers selling the H500P Mesh: White & Gunmetal. I suggest you look into more of the canadian retailers in order to find the H500P Mesh.

The H500P, as opposed to the H500P Mesh, does not come with any means of controlling the lighting on the 2x 200mm RGB fans. You either need a motherboard with an RGB header, or a molex-powered mini RGB controller which you can buy for $10.
In my experience, the lighting on the fans will be weaker with a motherboard than with the mini-RGB controller.

Check my RGB guide for more information. Good luck!

It also wouldn't be compatible

Looks good, but you should have waited for Black Friday.
What are you doing with the old parts?

 

Don't forget to quote or tag when replying, otherwise no one will know.

To be honest I’ve been waiting 6 months already to pull the trigger. I couldn’t be bothered to wait until Black Friday lol. 

 

And I have a friend that is buying my old PC off me since his died over a year ago and he hasn’t bought a new one since

instead of buying an entire kit, you could have added 8gb more and had 16, saving 50+ dollars.
