This is my first time building a computer so I am excited and scared all at the same time lol. I used pcpartpicker to try to minimize my errors (although I'm sure I have made some). For this build I would like to try my hand at overclocking a bit and I don't know if I picked the best money to performance hardware, O and my budget is just about maxed out with this build.

let me know if I missed something.
 
I would use windows 8.1 64 bit
its better, faster and its simple to add a start button [ for free] using classic shell

But most importantly you get a better license that lets you re-use it on two more computers . 7 oem is locked to the first motherboard

I don't like the way that win 8 was setup, but I have heard that it is better for the most part I'll check it out. Anything else wrong with my build?
