750W is too much. You are overspending in some areas and could spend more in others. You don't need a $110 PSU if a $75 one would work just as well. You don't need $100 in fans if you only need one or none more and could spend $0-$20 on them. Why buy a $140 cooler if top air coolers are <$100, or you can get a cheaper AIO water cooler for ~$100. From what I just mentioned you save ($35 + $90 + $50) $175 which you can dump into a better monitor or faster GPU.

I'd suggest a case but those are a personal choice. The last case I bought was the HAF-XM, but not many like cases that large. I love large cases and it has many things I like and the hot swap bay I wanted. I love the look of the Corsair 400 and 500 cases, but you might...

we actually almost have the same components. It's really good. If your doing gaming depending on the games you are playing you shouldn't have any issues. You will eventually want to upgrade your CPU to a quad core. But I have 0 issues with the i3-6100 & 8gb ram is more than enough.

Seems good to me!

My thoughts.

I wouldn't get that case. Glass is hard to clean. It's also ~$200. That's a lot for a case. Yes it looks good, but it will be hell keeping it looking good.

The PSU is way to large for what you need. I'd drop down to a good 500-550W. It's more in line for your system. Even OC'd.

Similar to the case, I'm not sure I agree with that CPU cooler. ~$140 seems like a lot. I'm a bit behind on coolers so I'll let someone else suggest something, but I don't see that as being one of the better performing coolers, at least one of the better price/performance coolers.

I'm also not sure why you are buying ~$100 worth of fans. It already comes with 3, how many do you need? The trick with cooling isn't plug in as many fans as you can, but to make a nice flow of air through the case. Just because you have fan spots doesn't mean you need to plug something in there.

Finally with the money saved you can bump up to a 1080(ti). For the money you are spending you might want to consider a 4k monitor.

If you like the case you linked there is nothing wrong it getting it. But large pieces of glass and glossy things can be hard to keep clean/looking good. I don't think I'd ever spend ~$200 on a case, but if you got the money for it and like it then go for it. Get a case that is you.
