Appreciate some advice on my build here

Solution
Changed a few things. That cpu cooler you chose is really outdated and overpriced. This one is the exact same.
You don't need a z version motherboard for non-overclocking. This one is really high quality.
The ram should be 1600, and g.skill is always good. Look for low cas at 1600.
You don't need dual ftw evga. Dual bios is for overclocking, which you shouldn't do. This asus one has a better heatsink.

Love the case :) fractal is awesome.
