This is going to be my final build I created on pcpartspicker.com http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6QNLHx

Been piecing this together for awhile now think, I finally finished it with the help of members on here and some research. This will be my first build so before I go and buy these parts and piece it together I want to make sure I have everything I would need to I don't have to run out and grab something I forgot or wait on shipping from ordering, please let me know if I have everything I would need to complete this build. My main concern is which I recently added and that's the thermal paste, I'm assuming I'm going to need this for the CPU before attaching the fan, correct? Please comment on the build, let me know your thoughts. Also, I plan on upgrading the memory later and adding an SSD drive, just waiting to see a good bargain on techbargain. Thanks.
 
The build looks pretty good. You won't need the thermal paste, though. Aftermarket CPU coolers come with their own thermal paste and the stock Intel HSF has it pre-applied. I'm not sure I'd bother with the H50 cooler since it won't offer great performance. I'd just get a basic air cooler for a small overclock. I would also consider some faster RAM if it was my system. This is what the build would look like with my changes:

Don't waste your money on the H50. For that kind of money, you can get a better air cooler. Do not need the arctic silver. The cooler supplied thermal compound is sufficient. I would change the Wifi to an Intel based one, that gigabyte sells. I would change the ram then as well, to reduce any chance of cooler interference. I would change the PSU to an Evga B2 series 750w. Excellent PSU for the money, and gives you a bit more headroom for overclocking, and possible SLI. The MSI twin frozr has a better cooler than the Evga.

I stuck with the wireless card I already had because the one you recommended was sold out. I changed the EVGA PSU also from the semi modular you recommended to fully modular.

Thanks guys, can't wait to get this built!

Not saying you have to buy a $100 PSU, but dont cheap out either. A PSU is one of the most important things in a computer, if your PSU fails it could possibly take out everything with it.

So just to get a 3rd vote on the EVGA 750w B2 unit, would you recommend that? Or do you have another suggestion within the price range of what my original PSU was, which was this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze

Yeah I don't plan on doing that. Thank you and everyone else for your help.

So with all that I believe this is my final build.
