If I'm going to spend 80$+ on a case, I might as well get the one for 100$.  This is my new list, do you see anything you'd suggest changing? Also, the RAM is something I'm not familiar with myself, is 3000MHz the speed I should go for? And what about timings? Do they really make much difference, and if so what difference in cost is justifiable? Last questions, promise! 

You could go for tighter timings for $10 more: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3CdFf7/gskill-ripjaws-v-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3000-memory-f4-3000c15d-16gvkb

The difference is small but so's the bump in price so go with whichever you prefer. 

The case already comes with 2 preinstalled fans that are pretty good so the additional fan is unnecessary. It's also a bit strange that you selected the 120mm variant over the cheaper 140mm. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

I didn't realize the case had 140mm support, I'll fix that, though the 140mm lacks PWM. As for why I'm getting it, I like to stay positive, at least in airflow situations. 2 intake and 1 exhaust should do nicely. And for the RAM, I had the Ripjaws before, but saw the price of the Aegis, wasn't sure what to go with, I'll switch it back to the Ripjaws. Thanks again!

The case comes with a built-in fan dc controller that supports up to 3 fans so you could plug any additional case fan to that along with the 2 stock case fans instead of using pwm.

That's a nice thing to know, I'll definitely use that thing. Thanks much. Appreciate all the help!
