Climbing up the ladder
I have a 3.5k budget for a computer.
My current build for the pc: You must login or register to view this content.
But I feel it lacks something, if anyone with vast knowledge around building computers could help that'd be great.
I'm not sure what to upgrade if anything needs to be upgraded.
Must have: 32gb ram
and atleast 1tb of memory. I was thinking: You must login or register to view this content.
but if there's a better one, please let me know.
Also, need help with the CPU cooler. Thanks

1200W is unneccessary. You'd only need 1200W if you were running 3-4 overclocked GPUs, which I would never recommend because of diminishing returns. If you get four GTX 980 TI, you won't get four times the performance. Most games don't scale well with multi-GPU configs. Two GPUs is the most I would ever go with.
If you use two AMD GPUs, I'd recommend 1000W minimum.
If you use two NVIDIA GPUs, I'd recommend 850W minimum.
I personally would never invest in a 1200W PSU because I'm never going to install 3 or more GPUs.

Me personally, I like a simple case. I don't care for crazy curves/angles, color accents, or anything like that. I just want the case to have a layout that makes sense and be easy to build in.
If I were to get a full tower, I'd get a Phanteks Enthoo.

That's what I have without a window. Ok case it makes my 290 look small. Bad airflow from front fan with a cage removed. I also said full tower lian li which are what my next build will use
