Ok so my budget is $1k, the i5, keyboard, mouse, headset are that price second hand from a friend. The fans are 4 pack cm sickleflow 120mm fans everything else pretty self explanatory maybe squeeze more power in the budget constraint.

Bad PSU, yes. But I don't see why that would be bad ram. (Although you could get something better for less, G.SKILL Ripjaws X 2133 Mhz CL9 for example)

Just prefer the cleaner look and might be interested in sleeving it, I enjoy tinkering with a build part of the PC experience.
