don't get the liquid cooling
if you're not overclocking stick with a stock cooler
if you're overclocking get a decent air cooler
liquid cooling is overpriced and not worth it
if it's cheaper just get 1333mhz ram, there's no real difference (iirc it's literally like between 0.02-0.09fps difference)
don't get a black series hdd, just get the cheapest hdd (barring hitachi and toshiba)
gtx 960 seems a bit overkill but at your price range why not
get a better psu, something around 500-550w probably (just to be safe, yknow? don't overkill it though and make sure it's 80+, preferably 80+ bronze)

Motherboard.
And not that it makes a bit of difference, boost up to 12 or 16 gb of RAM. |

@bagel
at that price range just stick with the stock cooler (unless it's cpu only obviously)
you could also do better cpu-wise but idk
again, just go 1333mhz on the ram if it's cheaper
also 550w is a bit overkill for that unless you plan on upgrading (which i wouldn't, just save up and get it all at once)

@bagel
avoid hitachi and toshiba
both generally die quicker than other hard drive brands |
