Its a good build me personally though would try to get a watercooled gpu instead of cpu as the cpu puts less than half the heat out and just go for a silent aircooler on the cpu but im guessing your gonna overclock the cpu.

That's the only thing i can see i would change other than get a superflower psu which is cheaper and better.

Ty for taking a look, I will stick with the corsair psi as I've always had them and never had an issue, as for the gpu I will look at it now ty :)
 
Here is an alternative build with a better case imo.

Fractal R5, NZXT H440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro/Luxe are also very good cases.

The EVGA G2 750W is a much better option for the psu. You get a 10 year warranty after registration, semi fanless mode and excellent warranty support from EVGA should you ever need it. It is one of the best units on the market.

Corsair H110i GT should perform better than the H100i GTX due to the bigger radiator. You don't really need massive cooling power though, but if you don't want an air cooler then I would go with the bigger H110i GT.

I would take the bigger SSD over the 950 Pro. Not sure you are going to see a huge difference in day to day usage between the 850 EVO and 950 Pro.
