List will work, but a couple of things

1. You're massively overpaying for the PSU. For a gold rated, fully modular, tier 1 PSU you can get it for $70-80

2. Use the savings on the PSU and get a better SSD for $10 more. The 750s are ok, but they're not as good as the 850s.

3. Not a huge fan of MSI motherboards, but thats personal preference with their pricing vs QA.

4. Why are you getting two 1TB drives of different makes? Not that it really matters, but it was bugging me.

Hi Man, thanks for the recommendation. First of all, i dont have quite a budget so I'm trying to be picky on some parts. and some of it came from my old system like the 2 TB. I started with 1 tb and got full, so i got a new one. Second is the PSU, unfortunately EVGA brand on my country is quite rare. So i cant find that one. Probably if u can advise more with a tier 1-2. And for the SSD, probabaly I consider that one and go with the 850s

If you want to be picky on something, you should start by the motherboard. As I been saying before, for overclock either go with ASUS or ASrock, asrock being a excellent choice as they are usually cheaper and as reliable. Asrock focus a lot on overclocking, plenty of features in the bios and plenty of power phases to help you getting the max out of your CPU oc.

Oh gotcha. Since you used the US site for partpicker I assumed you were on my side of the pond. This is a good forum post to give you an idea of which models to look for.

Otherwise you should be good to go.

This is what I'd recommend as well. The downside to Asus is pricing of course. Asrock I've had good luck with, only one RMA for a fair amount of installs. However depending on availability in your country, MSI might be easier to get a hold of. Gigabyte might be good to look at as well.

Ok thanks from both of you ohenry. On all of my parts. the only thing im not sure is the PSU. If it can gandles both GPU and CPU OC. Ill try to research more.

For the build you're doing, a 650w is more than enough.
