PC Build Opinion

[Shadeslayer110]

Hi,
I want to build a new PC over the summer and wanted to know how it is. I want to use it for modern games, such as Titanfall, Skyrim, and Dark Souls 2 with decent graphics and a good fps rate, schoolwork, some video editing, and programs such as CryEngine. If there is anything that you can recommend for same/lower price that is better, feel free to let me know! Please do not post new builds, I just want to know how mine is.

For video editing, I would get an i7 4770k. It's only an $80 upgrade. Other than that, everything is fine and most games will run fine on High-Ultra.

It's true that it's 30$ more expensive but you can get the keyboard you've choosen and save money , but i prefer the g105 than the k360
This is better for video editing and gaming
EDIT : Whoops , didn't see that you didn't want new builds
Otherwise your build is good but not the best you could get !

Great build. Only two things I would change are the psu from 500w to 600w+ to offer some oc headroom and like AnMLGNoob said I would also change the cpu to i7 4770k.
