Hey guys, I'm looking to build a new PC mainly used for gaming, all types of games, WoW, LoL, CoD, ect.ect.
Let me know what you think of this build please - and if they are any components that you'd change and why you'd change it/them.
My budget is roughly $1,100-$1,400 for this build. I think with the parts I have chosen the build is currently sitting at around $1,250 in total.
Im open to suggestions as im not an expert and if there are way better parts then mine, but comparable prices... let me know! - Thanks a ton!!!

Also- not too sure about the Motherboard, any insight as to whether its good or what other board I should look at, I'd appreciate. Thanks again.

The parts are fine but you can do much better for the cost.

Better GPU, faster/cheaper SSD, comparable CPU for gaming.

You sir ARE AWESOME! - This is exactly what I was looking for!

THANK YOU -- Also, 1 question why the change in CPU over $50? wouldn't it be worth it?

Thanks again sir, your the man.

Your welcome. As for the CPU gaming wise there very close for performance so I'd figure I'd save $50 but you can't go wrong with either but if your going to be streaming your gameplay, editing or heavy multitasking as well then go with the 2700X for the additional cores/threads.
