Since you will be using this for Coding/Gaming and watching youtube, you may not need the 2TB hard drive. Maybe switch to a 320 or 500 gb hard drive and get a SSD boot drive, to increase power efficiency and make your computer faster.

+1 to kulla on small SDD and smaller HDD.

Coolermaster PSUs get some bad press around these boards but I don't have personal experience with them. The going recommendations are Corsair and Silverstone.

I don't think the case has a mounting location for front 120/140mm fans as the case's specs don't list extra cooling options.

Wow, I have always used newegg as a specs website for suggesting parts from other countries. Surprised they didn't list extra cooling options under specs.

 

[intikhab]

So i am basically set with my components being compatible to each other then. Thank you all for your advise
Now can't wait till june but have to.

 

[intikhab]

FSP Blue Storm Pro 500

Thermaltake LitePower 450W

Thermaltake TR2 500W
