Feedback I am chasing:

Any imbalances within my system (excessive/insufficient power supply/cooling system etc).

Any cost effective improvements you would reccomend

Your general thoughts about my build (like dislike etc)

Feel free, nothing is irrelevant, after as much feedback as I can. I'm a rookie when it comes to hardware etc so hoping this will help me rest easy knowing i've done alright.

Have already purchased also a razer chacharias headset, razer deathadder mouse and deathstalker keyboard (So much green :D).

Also, purchased a samsung S24B300H 24 inch monitor, and will be purchasing another for a dual monitor setup.

Tell me things!
 


Sorry that you lost the money, mate. On the bright side, we should be able to set you up a hell of a consolation design.
 

Another reason why I suggest not buying from them. Scamers.

Did you try saying, hey I'll pay $200 but not more? Sometimes by offering some companies accept.

Nah i got nowhere. Trust me i was pretty creative and i put emphasis on cancer and said i could provide medical certificates and stuff. They knocked it down by about 80 bucks thats all they'd do. They called their bank and made sure it went through immediately rather than in 7 days due to my 'circumstances' but otherwise despite begging i got nowhere. My bank reckons provided i've agreed to their T&C there's nothing I can do. Oh well, I lose less in the long run.
 


Dear lord. I knew that most of the people running these sorts of things were cold, but that's a bit extreme.
From a build perspective, it shouldn't be a problem. You can make an extremely good PC for $2,500. It does suck to lose money to those vultures, though.
