Opinion on first pc build. School/Gaming/Streaming/Rendering Purposes

I'd recommend adding a SSD. SSD's are much faster than hard drives. I'd install Windows and all your programs on an SSD rather than a hard drive. I just recently built a computer and including a SSD was the best decision I made, it seemed to make everything 10x faster, no joke. If you have any extra money after that maybe you can add more ram, especially if you're using this for video editing. Hope this helped.

Your original motherboard was way overkill, went with MSI's sli krait to keep your color scheme. Added an SSD. Changed the fan to Phanteks MP, as I'm guessing your changing the fan on the cooler master cooler? The new fan performs much better and quieter than the nzxt one.

I have that mobo for its features, which it has a lot of. That fan is for the chassis. I did not plan on changing the fan on the cooler master cooler. Also, why such a small SSD? Is it for a boot drive or something? I just find SSDs WAY overly priced. I get that it is new technology, but HDDs are still superior for the money.
