Rate my first build please

[vostro89]

This build isnt underway yet. I still need to order the cpu, gpu and an ssd before Ill start putting it together. I will document with photos for those who are interest once the rest of the components arrive.

The rig is for (aside from gaming) web/graphic design, video editing and some occasional 3d rendering.
I dont plan on OC'ing from the word go but in 3 years ill buy a second gpu and run in x-fire and OC if i feel the need.

Part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2UdWA


Only thing not on the list is the antec kuhler h2o 650 (as its not on their system) and hdd's as im going to use what ive already got. Of course ssd is just for OS amd core programs/apps.

Lemme know what you guys think! All feedback appreciated.

I wasnt asking for alternatives. I was asking for opinions.....

 

[ModernWarfare]

its a good build but the power supply seems to be a no-name cheap unit.

 

[vostro89]

i'd switch the power supply for sure for a more trustable brand like XFX, SeaSonic, Antec, Corsair, etc.

I trust scan:http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-be-quiet!-power-zone-full-modular-single-12v-rail-cool-off-feature-3-fan-control-built
Besides I've already got the PSU.
Generally my experience with anything from a German manufacturer is good. Parts have very high build quality and the price matches or exceeds that of the aforementioned brands same spec counterparts.
