Hey guys this is about my 4th and probably final version of modifying for this build. Please let me know if you think this is a solid build or not.

***PLEASE NOTE: There seems to be compatibility issues especially with the ram and the processor. I don't think its a problem but let me know if you think it will be. Thanks so much guys.

Problems:

Do you really need the asus hero? Gigabyte has some great options at lower prices that will OC well. Unless you need the extra features of the hero you are over spending.

Get rid of that nasty ass barracuda hdd and get a caviar blue or hitachi. The barracuda has one of the highest failure rates among HDDs.

Case could be better, look at corsairs options in that price range.

Overspending on the PSU.

You should easily be able to afford a gtx 770, possibly a 780.

Thanks for your input, ill look into all of that. But if I were to leave everything as is, what would you say about the voltage differences between the i5 and the ram? I just wanna know for future builds if the problem happens again.


I like the Asus because of the built in heat absorbers that they put in their motherboards. Im not aware of gigabyte boards doing the same.
