Provide any additional details you wish below.
I plan on building a new gaming PC using some of the newer components in my current PC.
I already own the GTX 970, Cooler Master 650W PSU, 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD that's not on the list, so I'm not looking for suggestions on changing those parts. (the GTX970, PSU and SSD are 5 months old)
I'm not very experienced with building a PC but I think I'll manage. (and if I don't, I know people that can help me out)
So what I want to know is if this build is good as it is and if not, what alternatives you would suggest. Oh and also if I'm missing something/overlooked something.
As a side note, I'm considering buying a NZXT sleeved LED kit (red), if anyone has any suggestions on that front, please tell me!
Edit: Also, would I need to buy any seperate case fans?
