This is a build I have been working on for a while. My budget is roughly around $2000, and I want to game at the highest detail at 1080p on all games with 60+ FPS. I was wondering if this build is balanced, and if anyone has some recommendations on any part. I want quality items, but I am still on a budget.
Motherboard- I picked this motherboard, because I believe it has a great sound card. I may create some music in the future, and i do not have the extra $100 to pay for a stand alone sound card.
Storage- For the SSD I would like to have most of my games on my SSD, I seen the Crucial (- MX300 525GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive) was a lot cheaper so i may go with the crucial. What do you recommend?
Case- I picked this case, since I hear full towers are capable of cooling your components better. Also I would prefer to have some dust filters to help keep my build clean.
Keyboard- I seen this gaming keyboard for only $27.40 and it has some nice features with it. I will probably be gaming in darkness so i would prefer to have lit keys.
Case Fans- The reasons I included fans was because I was told you should add more airflow to the case. Right or wrong?
 
if u only want to play on 1080p max setting, 1070 will be sufficient for most games, but seeing that u're getting a 144hz monitor, 1080 would benefit u much more.
for PSU 650w is enough for this build but with titanium quality u can even down it to 550w except u're planning on SLI later

This build will perform similar to above build but is also looks good. You will get better temps with CPU.
