i have just about finished my build and i want some feedback on it.

i need a beast of a computer just for gaming and want the best proformance for under $1500.. i also want this computer to be somewhat portable so i can go to lan parties and such and i want it to be somewhat quiet. i also need help on choosing case fans so any help will be appreciated.

It's kind of difficult to criticize a build if you have already bought the parts and build it. I'll do it anyway ...

- Unless you do photo and video editing, a Core i7 and 16 GB of RAM is useless. You could have gone with only a Core i5 and 8 GB of RAM.

- I'm not a fan of watercooling. Some air coolers like the Phanteks PH-TC14PE or the Noctua NH-D14 cools better than the H100 from Corsair and are far more quieter. Plus, they are cheaper and you don't risk any liquid leaking into your computer.

- I don't know about EVGA power supplies, but personally, I prefer using more widely trusted brands in power supplies such as XFX or Seasonic.

Apart from that, great build for the price !
