First build for gaming and internet browsing. Need help with parts.

[Not_FoundX]

This is my first build. It's mainly for gaming and browsing the internet. I was wondering are these parts any good together. Any suggestions or changes? Oh and was thinking about getting the Corsair Carbide Series Spec 01 as a case. If that's any good. Thanks!

Looks solid to me. I would perhaps loose the DVD reader and switch the HDD to WD black or Seagate hybrid drive.

Thanks for the suggestion and reply. But why would I get rid of the DVD reader and switch to a WD black or Seagate Hybrid Drive?

You don't have to. Your build is pretty solid as it is.

I have a recommendation, its more powerful than your build and bit cheaper:

It was just a suggestion. DVD drives are not really needed as games are distributed digitally. Also the drives I recommended were a bit faster an more reliable. Both options work well tho.

They are still very useful for various reason. Its not worth it for saving $20

If you have a use for DVD-s then go for it by all means.
I feel the PC also looks better without the reader.
