Building a New High End Gaming Computer

[fwestcott]

I'm building a new computer and I was wondering if the pieces I chose are good for hardcore gaming and multimedia purposes. If there are some pieces that I should get instead of something else or if a certain component isn't worth it, I am open to all suggestions. Thanks!

It's a pretty good build except that PSU has cheap capacitors so you should get something better quality. You could also get away with a lower wattage. Nice special on this one with free shipping from newegg.

But if its got to be Amazon

Also i'd go for better RAM.
If it has to be Amazon

Or you can save $1 and get low profile from newegg

Finally the EVO is a great budget cooler. If you are only doing mild overclocks it's perfect but if you want to push the CPU a bit harder you'll want to go with big air like a noctua NH-D14/15 or an AIO water cooler like the H100i.
