Need Some More Feedback on my First Computer Build

[Snake90890]

Hey guys I need you guys to check out my build see if you guys have any ideas on how to improve? I will be playing big games such as DayZ, Stomping Land, Arma 3, etc so it needs to be somewhat of a beast! I also need to stay around this price range because I am just a young man thanks again! http://pcpartpicker.com/user/snake90890/saved/hdGtt6

1. I'd up the MoBo a little bit to the well respected G45 gaming .... extra $15

2. I'd save $18 for faster memory that won't hit any 3rd party cooler you might add later on.

3. You have no SSD and the Blue isn't exactly a stellar performer, so an SSHD with built in SSD is worth the extra $27. Find the Blue and the Seagate SSHD on these gaming charts (hint one's in 1st, one's at bottom)

4. For the same price I'd op for the Case of the Year Award Winner Enthoo Pro in white (black is $10 cheaper). More features better aesthetics, optimized cooling, build in fan controller..... check out the youtube videos

5. In the last year we've seen EVGA drop a lot of fine PSU's but unfortunately that model is not one of them. This is the one thing that concerns me most. Id also recommend that you prepare for a future SLI upgrade. A 2nd 970 down the road will add another 18 - 24 months of system viability. The G2 is extraordinary buy at this price suitable for extreme overclocking but looks like a budget killer.

6. Recommendations on the BenQ 2411 and Asus VG248QE generally run BenQ in Europe and Asus in US Americas for price reasons but the Asus is priced high this week. The Asus however is recommended for users sensitive to ghosting so look at that if you fit the bill.

7. Ya got a nice rebate on the fans but "

Limit One (1) rebate per qualifying rebate offer, per person, billing address, company, household and receipt/invoice/packing slip during the eligibility period,"

So its costing ya $82 for six 33 cfm fans. I'd add (2) 83 cfms fans and (1) 110 cfm fan to the top

$25 (2) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-case-fan-phf140spbk
$20 (1) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-case-fan-phf200spbk

which saves ya about $38

So..... we made several upgrades and we had price changes of +$15 / - $18 / +$27 / +$35 / -$38 and net result is we spent an extra $21 for better MoBo, faster memory, huge improvement in storage system, big jump in PSU quality, added future SLI capability, nice case quality improvement and a cooler / quieter environment . Of course, case selection is primarily a aesthetics "taste" choice so if ya don't mind the feature differences, by all means gran the red one.
