My first build. Any suggestions?

[Michael Clark]

Hi all,

I'm building my first gaming PC that I need to run some of the new releases such as far cry 4 as well as possible. I'm also a software developer so I'm looking for a powerhouse of a PC that can also run fairly intensive development applications. My price maximum is £1500, but if I can get cheaper with almost as good performance I'd be happy.

Here's the build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/mjclark91/saved/Gx3NnQ

Am I going overkill/underkill on anything? I'm setting myself up for a single screen 1080p gaming. Also one of things I'm not sure about is cooling. Is what I've got in the build adequate?

Any help is absolutely appreciated.

Would a bump help?

I only changed the water cooler in the parts list I linked before. Your build is fine, go for it.
