Hey guys! The main goal for this build is to hopefully run games on max settings (I'll probably be playing WoW and CS:GO the most). Hopefully the components that I chose are going to be able to handle it haha! Any constructive criticism is appreciated. :)

16Gb of ram is overkill, 8Gb is more than enough for gaming. Drop to 8Gb of ram and use the extra money for a faster gpu.
