It's good. But why specifically the Xeon?
And A-DATA stuff sucks. Get G.Skill or Crucial RAM and Samsung SSD.
And the case is pretty bad. For that price range, I've seen better stuff like Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

Fixed the RAM with some G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB.
How about a 450D?
I specifically bough the Xeon over the i5 because it's practically a i7 without the graphics. It's also hyper threaded so that's a plus, considering I do video editing and multitasking, and the i7 isn't really worth the extra $100 for a higher clock speed. Plus, it's much more stable than a i7 considering it's really meant to be used 24/7.

Why the VII hero?

Changed it up a little bit.

Changed to Gigabyte Z97X Overclocking board and a i5 w/H80i. Doesn't really justify my whole xeon 'speech' but I figure overclocking would be a fun experience.

1) Switch the SSD to Intel, Crucial, or Samsung.
2) I would say there is a better PSU.
3) Either go all out on Asus or something basic and cheap but yet featureful like a ECS Z97 Machine.
4) Why not a GTX 980?
Otherwise, very much fine.

Hard to find 980s most are out of stock, and I really can't wait.
