Does everything look good/compatible before I buy this? This is my first time actually building a desktop by myself, and with a budget of $1500, i want to make sure that it is all as close to perfect as I can get..

Thanks![/strike]

Im sorry guys i was really stupid and copy and pasted the wrong link.... I made a new thread with my ACTUAL build... The link for that post is http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2164960/gaming-desktop-build-budget-1500-updated-actual-build-post.html

 

[CTurbo]

A $1500 build should include at least a 780, 780ti, 290, or 290x. You don't need 16GB of RAM and a 500GB ssd is a terrible value. You could get a 120-128GB ssd + a 1TB hard drive for half that price.

This for less than $1400 would be a much better gaming machine.
