[Build Help] First PC Build: Need Help with Potential Part Swaps
Hey everyone, I posted a few days ago with a build a friend and myself are putting together as our first ever. Since then we've changed the case and a few components, and I would really appreciate all of your help looking it over for suggestions because we lack the experience. We tried to keep it ~$1000 (without peripherals) as well as thinking about some future performance. Thank you all in advance!

why the mixed ram? fix that. drop all the extra case fans. zero extra are needed.
Whoops, yea. I just realized I didn't save the part list when I fixed that last night. xD Thanks though. The fans are more for aesthetics tbh, otherwise I would just stick with all the stock ones.
I believe that case comes with three, so two extra won't exactly go to waste if you put those two reds up front for aesthetics and put the stock three on the "top" of the case or even two plus one on the side panel.
You plan on SLI in future? You can power that 970 with a lower wattage PSU at 500w or 550w and maybe get a better one. That case has great cable management as well so fully modular is not necessary but that's up to you.
