Hey there community, I've been out of PC gaming for quite some time now and I am getting back in. I pretty much have all the components for my build, just wanted to get an overall opinion and any advice or tips since this is my first custom build..

Thanks for any info!

You do not need 16GB of ram if you are just gaming. Stick with dual channel 8GB ram. Also, the power supply you chose is bad quality for gaming. Refer to this link for more information on choosing better quality power supplies: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html. Get a power supply from Tier 1. Lastly, get an aftermarket cooler. You will need on if you are gaming because the stock coolers are crappy. Otherwise, you build is solid and will run all games at 1080p on high settings with at least 60 FPS.

Well the ram I purchased is dual channel 16gb. I'll look into aftermarket coolers

Just switched out my psu on my newegg order. Went with the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650 G
