Hi everyone. This is the build that was recommended to me about a month and a half ago:
At the thread I made here. Since then I've acquired the case, but I've also upped my budget from 850 to about $1000 (could push it to $1100). I wanted to know what improvements I could make to this build given that knowledge.
The next part I'm going to acquire is the PSU, so I would like to know if I can purchase the same one or if an upgrade is recommendable. I decided to purchase the GPU last so I haven't gotten that yet, contrary to what my previous thread suggests.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help and kindness!
Tack the price of Windows on top of your build recommendations as I think I have a disc floating around here.

This would be more powerful, plus it has the ability to be overclocked in the future should you need it. You would have to get a better CPU cooler than the stock though.
