My First Build NEED FEEDBACK

I have a couple of questions

1. Overall 1-10 what do you rate this build?

2. Is the psu good enough for overclocking cpu and gpu, also a sli/crossfire?

3. Can I squeeze in a ssd under the 1000 budget of my build to put my os and other important stuff?

4. On a 1080p monitor at what fps can this build play on BF3 and Crysis 3?

5. People are saying that the ram I have is too big and wont have space for the cooler is that true?

6. Also can you recommend a good keyboard, mouse, and 1080p monitor

Thanks

1. 8.5 looks good to me.
2. yes
3. not with that cpu/gpu/case combo. but it can be done with a similar build
4. not sure, how big is the monitor?
5. nope. it's big and nonsensical but you should be able to fit it fine.
6. i don't spend cash on those things, so someone else will have to give you advice. as for monitor, here is a popular gaming one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236117

1. 8.5/10
2. Yes and no, you need 750w for X-fire.
3. Possibly,. but only if you downgrade the case.
4. 60+ on Ultra and high, respectively.
5. Haven't had experience with it, so I'm not sure, but I know that the Ballistix ram will give you enough room.
7. Anything Logitech and wireless for the first two, Asus and Dell make pretty good monitors, but I'm partial to Samsung and Sony.

1. Overall 1-10 what do you rate this build?

I'd give it a 7/10 only for the PSU choice.

2. Is the psu good enough for overclocking cpu and gpu, also a sli/crossfire?

No. Get a Seasonic or better for that.

3. Can I squeeze in a ssd under the 1000 budget of my build to put my os and other important stuff?

Yeah but you'd have to make a few changes.

4. On a 1080p monitor at what fps can this build play on BF3 and Crysis 3?

Probably 40 - 50 FPS at best.

5. People are saying that the ram I have is too big and wont have space for the cooler is that true?

Yeah probably. But since you're only using 2 x 4GB that really shouldn't be a problem.

Here's what I would suggest on your budget if you want an SSD:

I would get a phantom 410 case and a 750 corsair PSU.

I like the build. I am using the same cooler which has always worked extremely well. I would imagine if you utilized the combo discounts through Newegg you could squeeze in a ssd as well but that would require some time to check different possible part combinations. Also dealing with Newegg for purchases might easier than 4 different vendors for returns, customer service etc.

resin34 :

While I'd agree with both of those choices, neither one is really obtainable on such a tight budget without cutting corners somewhere. I have the 950W version of the Silencer and it's a solid power supply that's not from the usual contenders.
