you're fine with an i5? I have an i7 2700k myself because I have multiple windows open sometimes and the hyper threading helps plus I heard that the i7 OC's better than the i5 I only bring it up because I see you plan on water cooling the rig and it might give you more options if you ever need to bump up the FPS in a game. Other than that nice build I wanted to make a mini-ATX but that's a project for another time.

yeah the i5 is fine for what it needs to do, the main part is the video card. ended up paying 60 dollars more for a full size video card. its a no name brand so well see how loud it is. Here is the updated one.

as of this morning my video card is currently giving me the flickers and the BSOD

The case is really what made me think about creating a budget pc lol. its a nice case.

It's a pretty neat case. It's like a little side table. I'm gonna rest my drinks on it IRL.
