First time building a pc, so I just wanted a little bit of feedback. This build is about 1500-1600 bucks, and I can't really spend more then 1600. This build will be primarily used for gaming and some minor video recording/editing. If anybody has some suggested part changes or replacements for cheaper, they are always welcome.

Both kind of future planning, 16gb of ram incase someday I get into higher end video editing, and I am also going to college for automotive engineering technology, so someday I may be doing a little 3-d rendering, for cars and for fun.

The 750W psu is for yes someday maybe an sli, with the power consumption of the new generation, this psu will last a very long time for a decent dual card sli setup.



With these parts in my newegg cart the total would be about 1700... and that doesn't include peripherals which I'm including in my budget, but some of the new combos are really good deals so i'll look into it.
