I think this is a good build. I got it off of some other TH forums and just changed it up a bit.
Thanks in advance

Yes, I'm trying to, because I would like the parts to arrive together. Unless newegg ships separately I will be going with newegg. The build on pc partpicker was about 1,150ish with the different stores

Ok thanks, I just picked Win8.1 because I thought it would be better in the long run. Correct me if I'm wrong. This is my first build ever and first actual gaming pc

Newegg will often ship things together, but you have to pay to make them arrive together (especially the case, it will often ship slower). I highly recommend shopping around, especially amazon/NCIX. Use pcpartpicker, it finds the best deals for you.

Windows 8.1 is better then Windows 7, because it uses less resources than 7 making it easier on you PC and you can put more resources into the game you're playing and Windows 8.1 is just 8 upgraded + Windows 7 is almost 5 years old.

couldnt agree more about windows 8.1 and 8 isnt bad but most compatible with most up to date bios. every system that can properly support windows 8 has at least a few percent better performance in most every scenario.
