How is this?

[James Malcolm]

This will be my final build, and I say this because I have been going back and forth trying to get a decent build. Before I do anything, I wanted to know how this system is. My budget is around $850, so yeah. Any input is greatly appreciated.

fair in this budget . .

Change the HDD. You do NOT want to use a WD Green as the boot and OS drive.

You've overspent on a computer case, you should get a cheaper computer case and get a better aftermarket cooler and motherboard

You should provide a list of your system specs instead of linking off-site ...

Looks like a great rig.

There should not be that big of a difference between the 2 coolers --- the TX might be a bit more efficient but with higher fan RPMs (i.e., it would be louder, too).

Verify that the NZXT 120mm will fit in your case !

You can get a alot better computer case, Cooler Master HAF 912 is very outdated and silver inside: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/zalman-case-z11plus
