yes that looks like a nice build, you might want to put a slightly better PSU such as Seasonic or XFX, the corsair cx isnt the most reliable.

Nice build, but don't get that PSU. The CX units use cheap caps and aren't very good.

Here is a great unit, and it has headroom for SLI.

Jacob McIntosh :

The Power Supply he picked out is fine for that build honestly. SLI isn't possible on that board anyway.

I agree on the CX PSU, I generally recommend a 600 with a rig like that and would be leery of the CX with the power needs of your rig

TalonL · Apr 14, 2014

Only thing I would change about that build is honestly the psu. Corsair is one of the best brands, but the cx line isn't that high quility and I don't that anything will happen to it, but power supplies are one of the things never to take a chance on. Other than that I see nothing wrong with the build except maybe save like $70 on something like an ssd? They're getting quite cheaper now and newegg has great deals. In a modern build I'll always recommend an ssd they're just to great and it could be annoying to upgrade one to later if the OS is already on a different drive. And if you have no issue with trying to learn a new OS I really do recommend getting windows 8, it does improve upon just about everything except the ui; Personally I use only the desktop and the being start button back software and I get all the benefits of windows 8 and not the modern ui start menu.
