I am going to use this pc for mainly gaming and some normal surfing/school work. I am open to any suggestions and comments. I am able to purchase now but would like that there would be better deals on or around cyber monday. Whats your thoughts? If there is any changes that you feel would be better please, express that in a comment.

The Build seems good however i would think about:


  • The memory, personal preference but I would use corsair
    The case, chose one you like that has USB 3.0
    OS do you like windows 8?
    video card, I would use Zotak or Gigabyte which will be cheaper meaning you can:
spend more more money on a better case and storage as the seagate baraccuda is not as good as caviar blacks.

The cooling seems over the top if you won't be overclocking, will you overclock?
If not chose more case fans and a fan cooler which will save money and you can ad some lights or as I said earlier a different case

Even if you left the build as it is, its a great system so change if you want if you don't want to... don't but enjoy whatever you buy, happy building

I updated the list to your suggestions. I maxed out all the fans on the case and added a 212 evo instead of the h100i. Then i changed the ram to some corsair vengeance.
Anything else im missing?

Also, forgot to mention that this is my first pc build so i hope this will be a simple build and if you can suggest any tips/videos on a specific build I would be happy.
