Hello there everyone!

I am currently building my first computer, and I was hoping I could have some input on the one that I have developed. I am looking to create a high performance machine while not breaking the bank - specifically, I would like to use it for gaming.

I have a limited knowledge of hardware, and I was wondering if I could receive suggestions on where to cut costs and choose a cheaper product without compromising the quality of the machine.

Here is the link to my build on pcpartpickers: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VRvrmG

Thank you!

Nearly the same price with better performance. (You had picked the Hyper 212, not the Hyper Evo 212, quite a difference in cooling capacity)

It's not too bad, in fact there are a couple of areas in which you might back off a bit. 16GB is generally overkill; 8GB should be quite sufficient. Also unless you plan on adding a second video card down the line you don't need 750W. 650W should be quite enough for a single GTX770. With these savings you might be able to get an SSD.
