this build will perform a crap of a lot better.

you dont need a liquid cooler for an i3, the stock cooler is fine as you can't even OC this CPU.

That motherboard is super overkill

you don't buy 1 stick of ram.

The enthoo pro is overkill for this build.

The GPU not good enough for a build with this budget.
