Is the below build any good? Strong/weak points of the build? Does it make sense for moderate gaming...first person shooter, rpg, etc.?

I would appreciate any help thanks guys

why going for hx PSU if have a little more to spend so get ax series PSU ...and a full tower case ? are you going to add water cooling setup later . . if not so get a midtower case like corsair 500r or 600t ... other things are fine ...

Everything looks good to me apart from the case

But that's personal taste.

i guess my only real reason for going with a full tower was expansion and future use/builds. thanks for the quick help guys

but do change the PSU .. can get a gold certified fully modular PSU in that proce range . . antec has it and the corsair AX series which i told you earlier

Danbuscus25 :

Thank you for the quick response and help...am I better off with this intel i5 or i saw that the AMD FX 8350 is around the same price...also if you had to recommend a video card a step down from what you had listed would you? if so what?

numanator · Mar 14, 2014

A step down from the 780 would be the gtx 770

Danbuscus25 · Mar 14, 2014

well, the 780 will play any game max settings at 1080p, but not for too long. the 770 will play most games max and some games very high. and the i5 4670k is faster than the 8350, but the 8350 can save i little money.
