Is this a good build?

Hey, is this build good for the price? I know the storage size is small but probably wont fill it up for a while and when that happens you can always just buy a harddrive or something.

Thanks !

I was able to add a 1TB hdd while still lowering the price and throwing in a better psu. Is having wifi THAT important?

Another idea, get a smaller miniITX cube build with built in wifi on the motherboard

I've opted to get a full red black theme going while giving you a better motherboard, a case with great airflow, an ALC 1150 (top of the line) on board audio chip and a better value 1060 6GB.
CTurbo's builds are also good, but I have a personal bias towards mine because while they perform identically, imo a good color scheme and a better on board sound card are worth spending a touch more. 😉
All comes down to how much you're willing to spend, here's my cheaper build.
