  • overspending on motherboard

  • GTX 970 is a huge waste of money at this price point when at this budget you could include a 1070

  • slightly cheaper memory

  • you don't need additional fans

  • put a better PSU on with S340 - if you want a MicroATX setup just say the word

  • 2 CPU coolers aren't needed and I doubt you're even overclocking this so get a 212 Evo (someone suggested a low-end AIO like what??)
