First gaming PC build, what do you think?

[gompert]

Hi everyone. Decided to save money and learn something so I'm building a PC for the first time. Want to know what you think of my build before I spend all this money.

Criticism and advice are much appreciated.

Thanks!

get the 4gb version of the gtx 770 if your going to use multiple monitors.

Got it, would the 4gb dual superclocked ACX be a better option?

I'm also still unsure if I'll use dual monitors. Is the 2gb version fine for a single monitor?

well i saw your parts list with two asus vx monitors so a gpu with higher memory is needed. but if your opting for a single monitor then 2gb version will be enough,

also if your going to be doing some video rendering then you will definitely use 16gb of ram, but if just for gaming i would suggest 8gb of ram then invest in a SSD for your boot drive.

I don't plan on doing video rendering, I'll go down to 8gb of RAM. I'll add an SSD as well. Thank you!
