I am trying to get into the custom PC game and I'm having a lot of fun with it! But as this is my first build and I have no clue what I'm doing I would appreciate some feedback on what needs to be upgraded and what can be downgraded. My limit is $2000. Mainly used for light gaming, coding, homework, work, and possibly in the future some video editing. Thanks!

Solution
That Arctic you listed is just a small CPU cooler not fan. Case already comes with two case fans for cooling + 2 more fans with Corsair - H100i, should be quite enough.

I am also using the Corsair H100i. The Arctic is just to help improve air flow. What else would you recommend for my second fan?
