How does this build look?

I'm going to definitely build this mid next year. I know it's overkill but will it get me the performance that should be expected for dropping such a huge amount $6456.90 NZD ($5268.83 USD) Let me know if you guys like it I'm focusing on aesthetics and performance. Money won't be an issue really because I live with my parents and don't have anything to pay for really

Sounds close to the amount I'm planning on spending on my current build but, do we have a link to a parts list?

Oops how silly of me, must have forgotten to paste it. http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/user/Roxas_Boy/saved/3AMk

Well that build certainly is overkill but good for you if you can throw all that money at it. A couple suggestions I would make are to get all your RAM in one package like 4x4gb or preferably 2x8gb. Ram packaged together typically works better than two packages of RAM even if they are identical. Second of all I would definitely absolutely up your psu. The wattage estimator on pcpartpicker shows you just coming in below your max output and that isn't even taking into account any overclock you do so it is not enough. Honestly for a setup like that I would look more around 1000W since I like to have plenty of headroom and psus run most efficiently and last longer when they aren't near their max output.

Looks great to me! +1 on what Jameson Clark said. Totally right.

Good luck on your build! 😀

+1 on the build and +1 on what Jameson said...also, I would recommend a 250Gb+ SSD since you clearly can afford it. If you'll be putting your OS and some programs on it, you'll get close to that 120Gb limit, and a full SSD is a slower SSD.
