After a week or two of editing this build and perfecting it every way I could, I think I am ready to order the parts to build! This build is almost identical to a video PCPartPicker made except I have a different graphics card (that I own and cannot change) and added a few things.

But before I do this I wanted to ask the community to make see if I made any mistakes and/or I can edit this build to be better / cheaper in price. I am a beginner in PC building so I won't know everything.

Here is the parts picker list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dvGn9W

I will be placing two of the BitFenix fans in the front of the case and one in the rear.

Thank you for helping

You might be going a little overboard with the extra fans and CPU cooler. Since you're not overclocking, the stock CPU cooler is sufficient. I believe the case comes with a 200m front intake fan. One additional 140mm fan in the back for exhaust and you should be good to go. Initial, watch your temps. If they're getting high, you can always add additional fans.

Unfortunately I already own the card that I had in another system so I am basing my build off of it

Yeah you are right, only reason I did add the cooler was to be 100% sure nothing would happen to my CPU, and got the fans purely for aesthetics. I will probably get those out of my build then and buy them later if I choose to upgrade and what not. Thank you
