This is what I have for my build so far and want to see what people think. Any suggestions? And how does it look?

I want to get a better PSU so suggestions for that would be great. Also will I be good with this motherboard and is the Asus Hero worth the extra money?

Great Build. I would go for the Asus Hero It will still work. The psu isn't very good. The CX series isn't very good.

I'll post one from Amazon soon. Newegg isn't showing me more than 5 psu's.
A good brand is Seasonic, OCZ(Modstream series are very good), other corsairs.

this is a good reliable non modular psu

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9

here is a good reliable full modular gold rating

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750bbefx

dont need the extra 100w but it is cheaper than the 650w and around the same price as the 550w :)

i wouldnt go with cx they are known to have problems the only corsair i suggest is hx, tx,axi
if you want a corsair go with one of these

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cmpsu650hx

also you can go with 8gbs of ram unless you need it for work you do, other than that good build and nice case
