[itzmilo]

Hi everyone ,

So i've had some help of some of you guys already and i really want to thank you for that.
With your help i made it to this build : http://pcpartpicker.com/user/itzmilo/saved/BmQhP6
If anyone has any last suggestions, ill be glad to hear them. (btw im not planning on overclocking but i have the mobo and the cpu so, I might think about it in the future.)
Thank you again for helping me.

suggest the following changes:
faster RAM : e.g. 1866MHz Cl9
ssd: Samsung 840 EVO or Crucial MX100
PSU :a better PSU with Haswell support like XFX 550W

Pick the SSD below instead, only 3$ more expensive and much better performance.

Regarding the PSU, I wouldn't pick a CX serie.
I know modular is sexy, but there is a reason why this model is cheap.
If you really want modular go for the build below.
If you want cheaper non-modular: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

Ask also yourself "do I really need an optical drive"?
You can easily install your OS with an USB drive and you will purchase your soft/games online.

Well it looks good to me yet if you want to do more things at once put 16gbs or ram it helps smooth it up when doing multiple things at once. Other then that i think it looks good. Also look into a Intel 730 series ssd its more for gamming and i dont think its to expensive but look into that also see if you can go for more tbs with a higher capacity hdd.
