New to Computer Building, could use some Help/Advice

[rksmith46]

Hello, I am new to the world of PC Building but I have done my research, and hopefully it will pay off. I am building my computer mainly for gaming, such as Blizzard games and League of Legends. I will also be using this for basic web searching such as youtube and twitch. I think I have everything set but I was hoping I could get some help from an expert. Here's a link to the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3cgB7 If you know what you are doing please respond with some suggestions or if anything wont work together. - Ryan

I tweaked this a bit for better performance and costs.
Better PSU and CPU performance. As for the RAM get a 2x4 Kit so you can upgrade in future. I also changed the hard drive realized you wernt overclocking so i just deleted the CPU cooler.

That CPU cooler is more or less pointless as you can't do any real serious overclocking on that lower end motherboard.
