Building Gaming PC, need advice on component list

[Mauricio Nunes]

Hello everyone! This is my first timing building a desktop computer myself and I am very excited about it! As it is my first time I am sure there are many tips that I could get from the more experienced crowd, so please let me know any and everything you think about the component list that I have put together:

Amazon wishlist:

I am also looking for an expansion card to get WiFi and bluetooth capabilities!
PS: The Power supply is much more than necessary because I plan on making this a 2 way SLI sometime in the future!
Any feedback is appreciated!

I see you have decided to spend all the monies. eh, a lot of nice fancy parts you have there. Im sure it will perform admirably.

I will only comment on one thing.

Have you been keeping up with the 840 Evo performance loss over time? To sum it up, basically if a "file" stays dormant; well for argument sake lets say a whole partition of your drive stays dormant and isnt touched for about 4 weeks. After that, read/writes to that particular area of cells on the ssd become crazy slow. this was a huge deal for many people who install their OS on the drives. Anywho its been a few weeks since samsung says they have fixed it but it may be a good idea to read up on it just to make sure.

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention!
I had no idea about such issue, do you happen to have a recommendation for a 120GB SSD to use mainly as the OS drive?

I am also looking for an expansion card for WiFi and bluetooth capabilities(going to edit the original post)

maybe this one

I use the 256g version of the Vertex as my main os drive. The speeds are on par with the samsung capacity and has good reviews.

actually the writes are much faster on the OCZ
