$1000 Gaming PC Build Help

[SerTochiku]

Hello ladies and gents,
I would like to get help on determining my problems with my build that I have created.
I would like to keep it under 1000 and keep the Shinobi White unless y'all can find me a better white case

I see no problems with your build. The only thing I see is the PSU is just average quality. I substituted it for a high quality, full modular one below. You could also maneuver things around, and probably pull of a GTX 970.

Also, have you considered this case? I own the black version, and it's a fantastic case. Although I do like your Shinobi, as well.

Edit: I just realized your list includes a DVD writer, and that NZXT case doesn't support 5" bays. You'd have to substitute it for an external DVD player.

$17 over but much improved. Better case, bigger SSD, and fully SLI ready if desired with beefier power supply.
