This is my first pc build and im not looking for anything overkill or fancy... I am in love with the red and black theme which matches my current setup. My budget is 1k and im looking to run most games on High with 60+ fps.. Any feed back is well appreciated! Thank You :)

You don't need a z97 board or an aftermarket cooler if you're not getting a K cpu.
You don't need as much ram as you had.
The SSD and HDD you chose were bad.
Got you a better video card, and it's black and red.
Cheaper PSU.
Fans are optional, you can add up to 4 of them.
You were vastly overspending on the case, this one is similar and still red.
