Hey guys this is a PC build I just came up with and I was wondering if you guys could take a look at it and if you had any recommendations. Would I need any case fans? Is the noctua thermal paste good enough or should I get the little arctic silver tube? How are the speakers are there any better for cheaper?

Unless you are going to be rendering/doing 3D work there is no need for the i7.

Not bad. You could save a bit and get the 4670k , depending on what you'll be doing. The noctua thermal grease should be just fine. Stock case fans should be fine. Never used thos espeakes so can't really comment but they seem expensive for only being 2.1. The PSU should be changed the CS, CX and RM series all cheaped out on the secondary capacitors and have longevity issues. I'd swap it out for one of these
