I've been working on build a new computer for a while and I've finally got the parts I want and as far as I know they're all compatible with each other. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RW8BhM is the link for my build. Anything you guys see wrong with it?

danbuscus25s build is far better.

Plus, putting an air cooler on a FX 9590 is not that smart. since the TDP is through the roof you will most likely experience throttling.

Plus, 32GB is a COMPLETE WASTE of money. Games take no more than 8GB of RAM.

I have some big plans with all that RAM. I will not go over $2000. I really don't need many fans actually.. I just have a fan.. so new link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fvQbCJ edit: also, I've never built a computer but I have plans to host servers and use tons of ram for several tasks, powerful GPU and CPU for crypto-currency mining.
