This is my first build and already posted here before but a few things have changed since then so just looking for some new views and any advice for a first time builder, absolutely terrified of wiring it wrongly, is it possible this could fry the system if I do so?
Also is a SSD or SSHD worth the money just for the OS and a few main games? As I will be mainly gaming on this,
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet SHADOW ROCK TOPFLOW SR1 66.8 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: Avexir Core Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card
Wireless Network Adapter: Asus PCE-AC68 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adaptor
Case: NZXT Phantom 820 (White) ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: Be Quiet POWER ZONE 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Other: NZXT Phantom 820 Side Window Panel -White
Other: EXD Anti-Static Wrist Strap
Other: 6PC Long Reach Precision Magnetised Philips-Heads screwdrivers - Is there any other tools I will need?
Total: £941.37
Total without Case+Sidepanel: £712.15
The Motherboard and Graphics Card have been present of friends so will not be changing as are decent for first time I believe. Also I am aware the case is a bit of an overkill, but hay I like it. Please don't say just, Don't get this part, get this part instead, please give some reasoning.
