I wouldnt change a thing. Maybe a different ssd and hdd combo regarding the brand, probably samsung/wd, but thats a personal preference. Nice build.

8 gig is enough for a gaming pc. maybe drop it down to 8 and get lower latency ram..
but as it stands its a very nice build.

Yeah normally I would go with samsung, but these had great reviews and were cheaper. So that's why I went with these.

No problems then. Really nice build.

hi,

ditch Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200 hdd and get a western digital black instead.
Will cost more but you get 5 year warranty on them (better quality)

+1 on samsung ssd but the pny should do the trick

+1 on the memory, you can probably get 1600 mhz cas 7 or 8 instead of cas 9 and save a bit of money on that.
You won't notice much difference anyway

Really appreciate the input! Yeah i agree for a hdd that cost $50 more and has 2.5 times longer warranty, I chose the WD Black Series. When a computer costs $2200, what's $50 more?
