Do you plan to overclock the Processor?

Then you should opt for a better cooling system perhaps a liquid cooling system Go for the Corsair Hydro Series and somewhat a better PSU. Go for Seasonic ones they're the best

Overall it's a good built.

Oh yeah and please specify the GPU.

Is it the stock one or some special edition?

Thanks, i thought the cooling might not be good enough, but i was thinking money wise, but ill take a look at those.

the GPU im looking at is a galaxy GeForce GTX 660 2gb

Update:

I looked at the consair water cooling, but it is not in my price range. im looking for something more around $40-$60

also what do you mean a better PSU? higher wattage? brand?

A better Brand. Seasonic is one of the trusted brands.
PSU of other companies may seem to be too good like higher wattage and stuff like that but they may blow up. So get something like Seasonic G550.

 

[Sanchit Chanana]

As far as the cooling is concerned I think CoolerMaster 212 Evo is a better option. If your cabinet allows it.

the seasonic does look good but it is still out of my price range :/

i looked at this when i first started looking, i liked it but unfortunately it doesnt support my CPU

 

[Sanchit Chanana]

What is the Max height your Cabinet supports?


UPDATE:

Are you pre-determining the parts or have you started assembling them?


UPDATE 2 :

Are you a gaming enthusiast?
