That PSU is junk. Stick with Corsair, Antec, XFX, Seasonic.

16gb RAm is more than you need for gaming. 8gb is more than enough.

get an i5 not an i7. just a waste for gaming.

Sabertooth boards are a hoax and overheat. There are board $100 less that have all the same features.

Not worth it for gaming

You are overspending on cpu , mb , RAM , operating system , and probably the case

Hmm.... I do alot of rendering and use alot of cpu based programming. Gaming is half that. Could you link me to a better MOBO?

fudoka711 · Aug 27, 2013

Well, if you are doing a lot of rendering, then do stick with the 16gb of ram and the i7.

Alright, since everybody and there brother are telling me i am overspending, this is what my part list looks like now. = http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/1x024

Well that PSU is the definition of overspending. a 650w unit will run this computer perfectly fine and have room to spare.

Motherboard is still overkill like crazy.

Hmm. Updated once again. Still not set on one motherboard. = http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/1x0g4

This PSU is trash. Stick with Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.

How about now? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/1x0mg

Looks great. If you really will be doing alot of rendering and editing then you can go with the i7 and 16gb RAM but everything else looks perfect.

Is it worth it to water cool?

tiny voices · Aug 27, 2013

Unless you build your own $200+ loop, no. Air coolers reign supreme for the price/performance. Those watercooling kits (closed loop coolers) are more for show than actually being worth the money.
