First and foremost, thanks for looking at the post! I built this computer hoping to play video games at decent settings. Some things that i started second guessing about was the power supply. I bought a 750W thinking maybe i'd upgrade some components or add more in the future but it is most likely going to be in the far future. And i know the HDD is a little slow but i salvaged it from an old PC so i'm not too worried about it. Here is the link! Thanks!

It is good for 1080p, and I would get a single stick of 1866 8gb ddr3 instead since it is cheaper and better.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006YG9CU8/?tag=pcpapi-20

Power supply's better. Graphic card's better. Cheaper, but still efficient ram. (I used the Microcenter Price for the motherboard from MY MC) Cheaper motherboard, but it's still a pretty decent one. Added a CPU Cooler. If you don't intend to overclock, changes could be made.

If you don't like rebates, I could change some stuff in the build to lower the initial cost.
