Users are advised to stylize their threads with info asked of int his thread; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel... forums. which helps lend us context into your predicament and in turn the community chimes in with worthwhile suggestions. As it stands, it's just a list of parts in a thread devoid of context. I don't think you need that tube of thermal paste. Moved thread from Components section to Systems section.
If you are buying in the USA, here is the same build but with better or equivalent parts for less money:

That case supports 2 140mm fans in the top exhaust and 2 in the front as intake. It also only supports 1 120mm fan in the rear and 2 bottom in the bottom. I prefer to have all the same brand of fans so I added a few 120mm fans for the bottom intake and rear exhaust. These are optional of course.
