On a scale of 1-10 probably a 8.5 out of 10. Their are things that I personally wouldn't have purchased.

I would of gone with a pro version on the SSD I'm not sure which SSD you have but 250 screams not MLC flash. Power supply wise I would of gone with a stronger OEM.

Outside that a lot of what you choose was personal preference items and I can't really go one way or the other with that. All in all though you have a solid system there.

oh the additional 250 isn't a SSD it's a Hard drive from my really old Pre built pc and about the PSU did you mean the brand or the Watts?
the personal preference items arnt my own choice as I had to cut the more higher end stuff to fit the Fx8350 into my budget

is much rather stick to my current PSU because of the fact that I've heard good things about corsair and with the monitor my current one is the only one that has a HDMI output and fits my budget

I should have read your initial post a bit more carefully I gotcha no SSD. Power Supplies have components within them people normally refer to them as OEM's because its normally components from a company that produced it for their power supply. For example Seasonic they make there own power supplies but supply there components to Corsair, XFX, Antec and others. The builder series suffices I just prefer to have a high grade of power supply from Corsair TX, HX, and AX.

And when I was saying personal preference I meant things like your screen, your case, your mouse your keyboard, headset. I think you accomplished a pretty well rounded system especially for a first time gaming pc I'd say you did a very good job.

ah ok I get you but with the PSU choice I originally wanted a seasonic one but went with corsair due to a relative having good experiences with them

and tbh the stuff like keyboards and mouse were not my choice I was happy with the ones I currently have (Even though there quite old) its just thy I'm not the only one using it so I had to upgrade and with the case that wasn't my choice either my original was the Zalman Z11 (Plus version is not sold in retailers near me)

The one I chose has HDMI as well, but more importantly it has the new isp display and its around the same price as yours.

I see well that explains a lot... But I found another display that is much better with isp, and costs less
