That PSU is enough, really nice one too. It's all compatible, and will fit in the case just fine. Everything is pretty much exactly what I would suggest, though 16gb isn't exactly necessary. 8gb will be plenty, but if it's in your budget, I don't see why you shouldn't get it. That is a very nice build overall, and should max out any current game.

As already stated you dont need that much RAM for gaming .

You also shouldnt buy RAM of that low quality . Frequency is important and higher is better but when the timings [ latency] are that large the increase in frequency is more than offset

1600 Mhz 9-9-9-24 or LOWER , and 1.5 volts or less

That RAM is fine, CAS latency will not affect FPS at all, though neither will frequency. I think he's going for a red setup, too, look at the case. That RAM is fine, sure there's better, but you won't notice the difference, and that does look a lot nicer than most.

ewok93 :

Will I need any more Fans or are the Phantom stock Fans enough with the CPU Cooler?
If I need more which would you suggest.

ewok93 · Apr 16, 2014

While it should be sufficient, extras will improve your cooling. I would look for any 120mm fans with 80 or higher cfm, but under 25dB. You can sort by these options on newegg. Any fan that meets those specifications is a good fan, generally.
