I'm looking to build the kids another gaming PC in the ~$750 range, only 1080p.

Searching here and online this is the part list I have came up with and it seems good to me but thought I would ask for some opinions before I pull the trigger on it.

Any suggestions, comments, ideas? Or good enough?

Change to a motherboard that supports that memory speed or change the memory to 3200mhz as that would save you some money.

The Crucial P1 is faster/better quality over the WD and is slightly cheaper.

I would try to get a better quality PSU if possible.
