So, I'm building my first pc. How would you rate my build, what would you change? Max Budget of 1500 before rebates.

I dont know if you need that amount of fans and a fan controller, maybe you can spend that money in getting a 4670k and that 212 EVO would do the work. If its just for modding, you can just add some leds!
