Help me choose pc part and advise my gaming rig

[msyazwan]

Hello community. This is first high budget (for me) pc. So I want to pick right part and I hope you can advise on my part for my rig. Obviously this is for gaming and some office work and simulation, and I don't plan to overclock or anything related to that. Just plug and play. Please give your opinion and suggest anything to improve my rig. But please don't suggest anything that will make price more than $800

Any comment would be appreciated. Thank you

This build is very similar to my PC that I game on now. The main difference is the case, which does not really matter, and I have 8 gigs of ram from two 4 gig sticks. You are much better off getting 2x4GB ram sticks than one 8 gig stick. Look at something like this for RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/a-data-memory-ax3u1600w4g9db
Two sticks is better than using one, and it still leaves room to add another set of RAM to bring your total up to 16 gigs which should be plenty. The motherboard is nice, SSD's do not hurt, you could probably save a bit of money on the HDD if you went with a seagate, but everything looks good. I just cant tell you how much I recommend going with 2x4GB of ram instead of 1x8GB

Actually I plan to upgrade the ram to 16GB later (for simulation). So I think to let it be 2x8gb instead of 4x4gb

I hope you read this. If you want 16 gigs of ram you cant really put two separate 1x8GB sticks together and have it work properly. You would need to get a pack that is 2x8GB. The packs of 16 gigs of RAM are made to run together seamlessly and separate 1x8GB sticks are not. While it will probably work, it is likely you will hit some problems and performance problems. If you want 16 gigs of ram, start now with a 2x8GB pack of ram so you then have room to add another 2x8GB pack in the other two channels giving a total of 32 gigs of RAM. If you only want 16 gigs max, start now with 2x4gb and the add the SAME 2x4GB pack later in the other two channels, same for the 2x8GB. If you want 16 gigs and room for later, get a 2x8GB pack now and then later get the SAME 2x8GB pack to add in to the other two channels for optimal running. If you only want to have 16 gigs total, I strongly recommend starting with a 4x4GB set or a 2x4GB set and then adding the SAME set later. You will have much better performace this way than adding 1x sticks together.
