That looks very good, just change the PSU for a more reliable brand like Antec, Corsair, SeaSonic or XFX and, if it is for gaming, then you will be fine with 8GB.

For a cooler, a budget friendly cooler is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO...

Thanks! I will look into a diffrent PSU, and as for memory wouldn't it be better to get 16gb so I don't need to upgrade in the future? Is 8gb really enough?

Yeah man that's a great build you have there. As Pepito said, you really should upgrade your PSU though.

And 8GB is plenty for gaming.

Thanks! Is a Antec High Current Pro 750W Modular Power Supply good? It's more expensive but going from 16gb to 8gb will pay for it

Dboss9 :

If I were you I would stretch to an 800W incase you ever want to overclock or something, but yeah that will do the trick! Any other questions before I log off?

Ya, I'm not to sure how overclocking works or how to do it (beginner) but I am planning on doing it. Will this mean I need a really good cooling system? And if so can you recommend one? Also is 800W enough for a overclocked CPU and possible GPU? Thanks!

Nah you don't really need amazing cooling to overclock. But if you're planning to overclock and you're worried about heat you can just turn the fan speed up. Also, I recommend upsng a software overclocking tool if you're a beginner, because it's easier to revert the changes

Ok thanks! I see that I can get a Antec High Current Pro 850W Modular Power Supply for 10$ more than a 750W :lol: and were can I download/get a software overclocking tool? Does this work on both GPUs and CPUs?

There is probably a CPU software tool out there, but all I know about are the GPU programs. Here's a few I know about:
EVGA Precision X, MSI Afterburner. Any other questions?

2 more. Where can I get these software tools? Internet? And do you think my local Memory Express (place I'm buying all the parts, also gonna get them to assemble it.

) will they be able to overclock the CPU for me?
Thank you for your time you have been extremely helpful!

Yep just Google search them and there will be links on the official websites. And yeah if they know what their doing, then you could get them to tune your CPU a bit
