Hey Everyone and thank you for considering my thread and helping me first of all.

Alright! So I want to know the following about my enthusiast build from you experts:

LINK TO BUILD: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/j6Y8QV

- Compatibility - Is my build going to have any bottlenecks?

- Price - Am I going to do better with modifying this build at all price wise? Basically, will I save any money going any other way with this build without hurting my overclocking wants?

- Evolution or Upgradability - Can I step it up with the hardware of this build or modify any parts in my build that would help with pushing performance or am I ok?

- Cooling - Big thing for me most of all is to make sure that I will not run hot on this build, any suggestions or am I ok?

I got this error with my build from PCPartPicker:
The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with a SATA Express port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA Express port is disabled.

Sorry this is a lot to ask about, but I hope you can help me make this an ultimate build!


Thanks!

1. No
2. Not really that I can see
3. I like Fractal Design cases. Or Phanteks.
4. Yes
5. Looks fine to me. Part of case fans depends on how many come with your case. Average minimum is 2.

Would offer a little more cooling. Just make sure you have a compatible case.

Thanks. I was so worried.
- The reason I picked such a high Watt power supply was so in case I get a second video card in SLI.
- The case pick was because I like the look but also the ease of use. These are a list of other towers liked:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=-1%7C11-146-096%5E11-146-096%2C11-146-087%5E11-146-087%2C11-146-067%5E11-146-067%2C11-119-260%5E11-119-260

I wanted a tower with better cooling also.

Please let me know your opinion. Also I still did not get any answers to:
- Compatibility, Price, Evolution or Upgradability, and Cooling, in the first post questions.

Thanks

What about:

1. Any other Bottlenecks?
2. Can I do better with the price of my items?
3. Would I be better off with another case? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Compa...
4. Will I have room for upgrades such as SLI?
5. Is my cooling ok? Or do I need additional fans or other hardware?

*Do you think I need this type of cooling for my CPU?
