Hey guys I'm in the market to buy a new pc for gaming, programming and a tiny bit of 3d modeling. Also i want it to be quiet and last me about 7-10 years with maybe some upgrades to storage and the gpu but nothing else. I've basically chosen all my parts and want you guys to look over them before I actually buy them. Right now my build is a little over $2000 and if you guys could help me get it a little more affordable, maybe $1900ish, that'd be great.

This will be much better for gaming.

Dropped you down to 8GB of RAM with 2 modules to take advantage of the dual channels.

I dropped you down to a 120GB SSD for your operating system, compiler, and modeling software. Everything else can go on the HDD.

Wait for the R9-280x.

That case will give you much better airflow and already has fans.

I got you a more reliable PSU.

I added an optical drive.
