Looks pretty solid to me, though the Corsair coolers come pre-applied with good paste anyway, so you don't need the named colling paste
And I'd add a small fast drive as a Windows drive, as its best to keep it separate - just makes it a lot easier to reinstall and also the drive wont get full if you limit it to Windows and stuff that refuses to go elsewhere (not many things refuse anymore, but one or two things may do)

As Rakk said with your budget get the fastest 1TB SSD Samsung 1 TB 9100 pro + another SSD maybe the 4TB version as your budget allows it

I only say that because of the money your spending you might aswell get faster SSDs, I only got a £2.5k budget & I got the 9100 pro its not that much more expensive until you go into the 4TB range

A question actually if either of you two know, what is the little 12VHPWR cable that comes with the PSU extension cables, is that for my GPU?

its twice as fast boot time / read time myself Am using it for windows + BF6 , the rest of my games will go on a standard SSD
.

#

For a 12VHPWR GPU connection, use an ATX 3.0 power supply or a dedicated 12VHPWR adapter cable from your PSU manufacturer to connect to a compatible 40-Series (or newer) GPU
