Looks good. My only issue is with the CPU cooler. You are getting a fantastically overclockable chip (most of the review places are reliably getting 5ghz out of it), but from what I’ve seen a 120mm cooler won’t cut it without the fan getting extremely loud. If you can swing it (and the case will take it) I’d get a 240mm setup. Other than that, have fun tearing through all your games. Better have a monitor worthy of it. :wink:

Looks like a nice build. Here are a couple of questions:

Why Windows 10 Pro vs Home? (Do you need it for some reason?)
Have you considered getting a better power supply, maybe a quiet model that was silver or gold 80Plus?
