Thinking about building a new PC, and here is what I can up with so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FPdrxY

I do a lot of gaming, programming, and photo editing. The optical drives I have laying around already, and the case I selected should fit where my current PC resides. I have two HD ISP monitors (1920 x 1080) that I normally use. Still debating between getting an SSD or another HDD (load times have never really bothered me). So let me know what you think of the build.

Stuffs cheaper but just as good. Also best bang for buck.
 


Any reason to not go with the motherboard I selected other than a slight price difference?
Same question as above about the memory?
I like the cpu cooler, the ssd, and power supply.
I am going to go with a 3 TB hard drive because I have actually almost filled my current 1TB
The case is exactly like the one I have now, but without the clear window; and i have enjoyed it
 


not really. here you go. memory, getting the cheaper one vs the faster one has little difference between performance. getting cheaper ram is not a problem.
