I think my build is ready. Any suggestions that can make this build's performance a little better by adding a few bucks into it? Or does it look ok. I was planning on overclocking but I'm afraid that I might fry the cpu as it is my first time to build one. The case is actually Nanoxia Deep Silence 5. Sorry for making another thread this might be my final build for non-OC

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I plan to crossfire in the future. And yeah I might drop the CPU cooler as it will be cold here for the next 5months or so. I have another question if u dont mind. Is overclocking easy? I saw videos about OC and it looks complicated. It looks interesting but I'm too scared to fry the CPU

I have yet to get the chance to try overclocking myself. I haven't looked too far into it yet if I'm honest.
You won't be overclocking with that build though. The k-less version i5s are locked and you've gone for an h87 motherboard to match. You'd want a K version with a z87 if you were curious about overclocking.
The only reason for the CPU cooler is to try to get a quieter system than what the stock cooler would allow.
