get a better PSU!
cooler: noctua u14s.

Good system.

The PSU is a Tier 3, and you could probably get a Tier 2 for the same money. 550 watts or larger is fine for the video card. Everything else looks OK. You might check out the Cryorig H7 if you want a good air cooler, they're inexpensive and will fit most cases.

Alright thanks my friend , I appreciate your input. Would you recommend any other components I could change that are better for roughly the same price. Also I wouldn't know what case to go for.

Iv never built a pic before and I'm completely new to all this. Iv only been researching the past few weeks. Thanks.

If you had no intentions of overclocking, you could save money by using the locked i7, stock CPU cooler, and a less expensive motherboard.
