Any upgrades or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

if this is gaming you over spent on the CPU and RAM.

Change your back up HDD to a caviar BLUE.

You should be able to afford a 780 SLI at this price.

This is way overpriced. Is this just for gaming or also autocad, photoshop, etc ?

the rm series from corsair are made with some bad capacitors, i suggest this psu instead

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1850bbefx

the case is amazing, its super quiet and has great options for expandability

caviar blue will be fine for data storage.

id drop some of the fans, the airflow in the case is great

finally, id say drop the cooler and get a 140mm closed loop cooler, like a coolermaster nepton, nzxt x40 or corsair h90. thats just personal preference, and will be good for overclocking. the cooler you have is great, and will work awesome

jshoop :

My shop doesn't have XFX, can you suggest something else please?

Remikzfully · Mar 16, 2014

RazerZ :

This is just for gaming, but I went yolo because I want it to last at least 10 years.

jshoop · Mar 16, 2014

Remikzfully :

seasonic, corsair (other than the rm or their cheaper psus), and antec are all great

http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

this is a good list, i suggest trying to find something from the top 2 tiers, those will last 10 years

jshoop · Mar 16, 2014

if you want it to alst a while, this build is very good. theres no way to know how long it will be able to play games, but i suspect it will be playing games for a while. when you need more performance, you can stick a water cooler in and overclock your cpu, and get another 780ti and sli them
