Nothing wrong with the build, but if I was spending 1500 on a new pc, you can be sure I'd get a 4670k cpu and Z87 motherboard for when I did want to overclock. Might be a couple of years later, but I'd do it eventually. Also, for that price range I think you could get a better video card than the 760. Are you buying a monitor or OS? Those parts don't seem like 1500 dollars to me.

Toss in some case fans if you want, and here ya go. Should be plenty of money left for a monitor, OS, and keyboard/mouse if you want. Unless you are an audiophile, or do music work for a living there isn't any reason to purchase an aftermarket sound card.

i live in asia so the price is bigger so the cpu that i listed is worth 280 bucks and that is the lowest price for that so approximatly imagine the price of other things like the video card that u said is worth 542 bucks so that is waaaaaay out of my budget.
and i said that i dont want overclock cuz it slowly murders ur computer from the inside.
ur lucky u got good prices :(
