The R4 doesnt have every slot filled, so I got extra, and I heard this CPU cooler is on par with the h100i

Ok, so a few things here:


Fans: You don't need those, the Fractal Design Define R4 comes with really good fans.

Mouse: You can get a better one for cheaper.

Headset: I have this headset and really, really don't like it. There seems to be a lot of static when a lot of stuff goes on.

PSU: You can save some money and get a 600-650 watt that's 80+ Bronze or better for cheaper.

GPU: You can get the same one for cheaper here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CZ58WUI/?tag=pcpapi-20

CONCLUSION: For the headset, I would get the G35 or G930 (wireless version of the G35). For the GPU, well I posted a link. For the PSU, here ->http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg620m For the mouse, it's your decision really. For the fans, just don't buy them unless if you want more fans, but in my opinion the Define R4 has enough. All in all, if you can, get a 4770K with the money you save if it's enough. I hope this helped!

What's wrong with the mouse and keyboard? The stock photo doesn't do it justice, it actually looks nice and is at a great price.

I see. Well how do you like this build? Razer and steelseries products are honestly overpriced. If you're going competitive I listed the parts I would recommend. A mechanical keyboard is a must.
