Hello people of the forums! This is my first build and I was wondering if it was a good build. Here's the pcpartpicker link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LM3KkL
I don't have the ram because I'm planning on using my current pc's ram which is the corsair vengence 16gb 1600mhz dual channel ram.
I am also planning on using this pc for mainly gaming and some multi-tasking (multiple tabs XD).
I am also trying to keep a red and black color scheme. Any feedback helps and if you have any other recommendations, feel free to say them. Thanks and have a nice day/night.

Hello, I looked at your system and everything looks good. Just one thing not sure about, you had some G.Skill RAM in the parts list, not sure if you are thinking about trying to use it with the Corsair Vengence, but there is a high chance using Corsair RAM and G.Skill RAM together will cause a lot of crashing. Might just be in your list by mistake though.

Other than that looks like a good system and it should give you excellent performance.
 

Thanks for the quick reply, I forgot that I left the G. Skill ram in there so thanks for that and i changed the link so now it should be the final version.

That build looks really good but i dont need the ram so if you could use that extra money on other components, that would help me a ton.
