You can get an i7 7700k for around the same price as that CPU you picked. Last week there was a sale at Micro Center and Amazon.

You can get that same SDD on Bestbuy for ~163

For the PSU get EVGA G2 or G3. NEX is no good, it's their lower quality.

Why Windows 7? It's no longer supported.

Network adapter, your motherboard supports gigabit ethernet already.

What is your budget even? Don't forget to calculate for tax either.

What are you planning to use it for? Ryzen might be a better option.
Why are you getting Windows 7?
Why are you getting a network card?
Why not go for an M.2 SSD?
Why are you getting a 6TB and x2 2TB mechanical drives when you can get a single 4TB for less than those x2 2TB's or even just another 6TB? Is it for raid?

oh, right.

I bought the card because the built in ethernet kept crashing the computer for some reason. Bought the card and have had no problems since.

This PC is already built/I'm already running all this/have all this.

I just bought a 6 TB because I'm running out of space.

I've got a Logitech G602 that was my first purchase with this build. I just bought the DeathAdder for the LED lighting.

People have said to get a Cryorig H7 over a Cooler Master Hyper 212 for CPU cooling, I'm still torn on which to get.

Ahh. Well you're good for a while, none of that is really out dated. You'd just be spending money for the sake of it. Maybe a solid wireless router, with good 5 ghz band.

The hard drives don't make sense. The WD Green and Blue lines are more for economy and efficiency, but if you want performance from the drives, go WD Black, Velociraptor 10k RPM, or Samsung 850 SSD.

There is no problem that can't be solved by applying more yuri to it.

I don't have the money for a black. And everyone/reviews have said blues are the way to go. Greens are more for archiving/backup. Blues are more for media usage/etc

Green is economy, Blue is mainstream, Red is for RAID, Black is high end, and Purple is intended for surveillance systems and stuff because it's a cheap cost per GB and they're designed around basically writing data 24/7 without failure.

They've all but phased out the green line at this point as far as mechanical goes though, but it still exists on their SSD line after they bought SanDisk. The Green drives were shit anyways and for just a small amount more you could get a 7200rpm Blue with more cache.

You don't need an aftermarket cooler if you're using an i7 6700. But if you insist, I'd get the H7. The Hyper 212 is really old and outdated now. The H7 looks nicer and is quieter.
