That's a very underpowered GPU for that price range... it makes things tough since you are factoring in so many extras into the final price but it's not like you can use a Pc without a mouse+keyboard+monitor so it must be done.

You're spending way too much on fans, just use the ones that come with your case, they do the job just fine even if you overclock, that saves you about $60.

That being said, that case is a MicroATX case, which means it is very very small with little room to work in and upgrade your system upon, as well as not being as efficient in the airflow/cooling department. The Corsair 200R ATX tower is a larger tower that is only $20 more, and unless space is a real concern for you it will work out better.

If you go for the Logitech G430 headset you will save about $10 and arguably get a better headset in the end.

That's a very cheap motherboard, I would look for a better one. For example, that board only supports up to 1333 MHZ RAM, and that is only if you overclock to that, and you want 1600MHZ so that will not work. And yes, stick with 1600MHZ RAM.

You can probably find better keyboards for the same price or less money than that Razr. The tournament edition is a gimped version of the regular one, which costs $100 ish. You can do better.

I would highly recommend that you do what I have outlined above, and also hold off on buying a headset if at all possible. Waiting to buy a headset, as well as following the other suggestions I have made will net you an extra $140 not including a cheaper keyboard cost. Use this money to get a better motherboard (reputable boards in the $80-100 range is a good idea, from ASRock or Asus or Gigabyte etc) and upgrade the GPU (maybe an R9 280), which will make for a well rounded gaming PC.

hope this helped!

i need small space and the mobo was what i chose cuz i want usb 3, not that that matters much cuz there isn't a huge selection of micro atx mobos that i can see.

And as a final question-ish thing/reason for putting the kraken pro, i want the headset for skyping and gaming with my friends and i also want it for music. so i like the kraken for that.
