Hi guys. I've done some research and put together a build that I think will work together.
Can any of you provide some insight on how you think this build is?

It will be for casual gaming and school work.

Thank you so much!

Solid build you have there.

Be sure to add a cpu cooler. The stock cooler will be louder and temps will be higher.

Also do you have an old hard drive you plan to reuse? because 60gb probably will not be enough space for everything.

And no way you need a 700w PSU. Even if you want to SLI later you dont need more than 500 or 550w

That board doesn't come with an SLI bridge, you have $36 in fan controllers you don't need, and with your budget a SSD doesn't seem like such a hot choice atm when all your going to get out of it is loading up Windows a few seconds quicker yet your going to suffer on your FPS in regards to gaming/vid card. And that CM psu isn't anything that would be recommended on here. SSD's are only going to get cheaper...I would hold off on getting one atm. It's all about FPS.
