Looking For People To Check My First Build

[Moderig]

Hey guys, so I have been working on a fairly good build, but I'm not so sure if it's good, or bad. I just need feedback or tips of what to change. Also, my motherboard is not "compatible" with the other items so I need someone to check that out too. Here's my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fZzcpg

Also, here's another one that has 2 4GB memory, since it's more efficient as I heard: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yhMtGX

And if you want to change the items in the build, please go to the page and "edit" the items, then copy the link and send it here- thanks!

You have a mid tower case selected with a miniature sized motherboard. I would recommend you get a better motherboard. Also, I would advise you to get two sticks of ram for better performance. Even that mini motherboard will utilize dual channel ram, which is faster. 8gb is plenty but get two 4gb sticks as a package for better performance.

So instead of 1 8GB i pick 2 4GB? And I can't really find a good motherboard, can you help me with that?

Hm, I see a Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600, can that work?

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-a88xplus this is a good mobo in your price range that is an upgrade...Only thing negative about it is it does NOT support SLI, and you have a 750ti. You will not be able to just add a second graphics card in the future. If you never plan to SLI you graphics card, you may be okay. Take a look through the available mobos with the fm2 socket compatibility .

What does SLI do? Sorry, I'm just a newb at this! And also, if I replace my motherboard with that and do nothing, will it be able to still work?

I think I'll just go with the motherboard I already have, the compability isn't that much to worry about because it's just a BIOS update. However, I thank you for saying that 2 4GB sticks are more efficient, so i'll add them to the list.
