This build looks good & compatible, although the 2133Mhz ram isn't necessary unless you're going to do benchmarks, otherwise just go for 1600/1866 you can simply do a small OC with minimal input. Also you don't need a 1000W PSU, even if you were going to do 2-way SLI you don't need anything past 750W/850W... That'll save you alot of extra cash. Also like mentioned above you can build it yourself- not hard at all. Plus you get experience when in the future you want to upgrade yourself and add things to your touch. & he's right, $50 for an OC is not good when all it takes is 5 minutes of effort to plug in some numbers and boom!

You don't need a 4gb GPU unless you are planning on using 3+ monitors.
AZZA power supplies aren't that great, I would get a Corsair unit (NOT CX or CXm).
You don't really need a fan controller, unless if is a full custom loop, which this build is not.
Why are you paying $50 for overclocking, aneh you can do it yourself in just a few seconds?


Honestly, just build your own PC. You can do it for much cheaper, and WAY more customizable. And despite what you might hear, it is actually pretty easy. It's like adult legos.

Overclocking is a good thing to do, you get extra performance from your rig but it's not worth it when you are paying someone $50 to do it. With a couple of forum guides on how to overclock, you can easily do it yourself for free in a few minutes. What is your budget?

I just built this, for the same money you get a better motherboard, an Asus Hero, fast 2133Mhz RAM, a gtx 780, a nicer better case, Fractal R4, plus you get the learning experience and satisfaction of putting all together yourself. Don't worry, I understand you're nervous, all of us were where you are at right now but a little bit reading and some youtube videos and you'll put this build together in no time.
