Spending this kind of money you want a better processor, the 6300 series is more for budget builds. For this money, I would definitely get a better CPU. The 4670k is much better than the 6350. I reworked the build around, got it better, and save about $150 for you too :)

Dont like it at all, wait a bit. Too much RAM (RED RAM), not that good CPU and expensive mainboard. If you dont have to get a mechanical keyboard you can get the Corsair k50 with LED buttons and they can be set to every color avaible. Also the Mouse is very good and has also a LED with all colors avaible (RED too =D).

Do you really want that much fans, it has already 2 which are very loud and it would have 6 fans?
