There it is was wondering your thought? comments? suggestions?

Also anyway to trim down the price it does seem high since I am starting completely fresh with the perphecials

This looks like a really good build. You can downsize the power supply to a 600 watt if you aren't going to SLI in the future. If you are, the one you have picked out will be perfect. Have fun!

 

[pyr0_m4n]

For a single video card, you could always go down to a 650W easily.

overall 100 dollars cheaper
i kept the 850w because i assume you have this for sli later on

 

[Dylan Patel]

Thanks guys yeah I plan to sli in the future so I will keep the PSU, should I cut back on the HDD to get a SSD? Or switch to mid-tower?

Also when the pc is complete and constructed will I need a wifi network adapter to connect to my wifi network? How does that work?

Thx

You don't need a full tower so you could save money and space by getting a mid tower.

What mid-tower do you recommend? I was looking at the fractal define f4

I have a Define R4. I couldn't recommend it more. It's completely silent and keeps everything a good 5c cooler than my NZXT Guardian case. A stunner too.

Corsair also makes some pretty good mid-tower cases. I personally own the Corsair Carbide Series 200R and have heard pretty good things about the higher end models as well. Might be worth checking out
