Thanks! Not trying to offend you or anything, but can you show me some examples that are not well balanced in the computer?

Oh ok! BTW I changed the case in your build to the Rosewill Blackhawk if that's okay. Also I think I'm going to upgrade to the AMD FX-8350. Should I add a CPU cooler or do you know if the CPU comes with a cooler already
