Thanks for the comment schizo

If this is just a gaming pc then you don't need 32GB Ram. A 2 x 8GB kit would do fine.

The Noctua cooler comes with thermal paste, so you don't need to buy extra.

Lee32uk, You are correct that lowering the ram might be best.
But considering i do not purchase computers very often and trying to future-proof the PC the best i physically can at this moment in time. Also the computer is not just a gaming rig, it will be for a mixture of gaming/work - Basically trying to get the best of both worlds!

I also plan on upgrading the monitor to go along with the new computer,
Just wondering if you have any advice or opinions on a new monitor bearing in mind what i will be using it for and bearing in mind i will be adding SLI configuration in the future, so i do not really want to upgrade to another monitor set-up later down the line Although saying that i have heard that TN screens are not that great - IPS is apparently better!

Also, I plan on using SteelSeries Keyboard/Mouse with the computer, simply due to i have used SteelSeries products before in the past and really like them - more of a personally preference

Thanks for your time
