If this is for gaming it's a bit unbalanced. You should be getting a better graphics card and a less powerful CPU for effectively more performance.

I'd also advise you to get a different SSD, since Kingston's SSDNows are known for using lower quality NAND Flashes. A Samsung 850 Evo would be a much better pick!

Edit: You might also want to consider upping the PSU to a 450w-550w unit.

^ loads better mate - you don't need the thermal compound btw - the stuff that comes with the h7 is at least as good quality.

 

[Hentoad_The_Man]

Oh I thought you had to buy thermal compound if you bought an aftermarket cooler

 

[Hentoad_The_Man]

Anyway I'll be saving up for that as soon as possible! Thx a bunch!

 

[madmatt30]

All aftermarket coolers come with thermal compound mate - & normally good quality silver based stuff too.

 

[Hentoad_The_Man]

Awesome! Another question, do you think this rig could be used with dual monitors?
