Hey i have a build that i would like an experienced pc builder/expert to review and give some feedback on anything that i should switch or change.
The 2 corsair fans will be replacing the stock fans for the radiator and I will be using a hdd and ssd from my current build.

that looks alright but i dont think you've taken into account the black and blue theme i was going for since nothing in that build is remotely Blue LED. The deepcool has red parts that i do not like, the motherboard had the 'mystic light' feature that i was going to take advantage of by setting it to blue and i am set on the case i have chosen. Thanks for your advice though.

Yes, I have made significant changes to your build. Specifically I changed the cooler and more importantly I replaced the 1080. That's a weakling of a card. Not really sure it could handle Pong but I am positive it can't handle Minecraft. Only the absolute best will do. Enter the 1080 Ti. Why settle for second place?

The Cryorig H7 can handle the 7600 OC'd so I see no issue. There is a used market out there. Sell it later on and then you can release the Kraken if you're not satisfied with the performance of the Cryorig.

Next up is the RAM. After 2400MHz there isn't going to be a SIGNIFICANT gaming boost. A small sacrifice to allow the 1080 Ti in this build.

I left the case alone.
