Hello, everyone. I'd like some constructive criticism on the components I've picked out for a first-ever build. I'm new to this: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/consumer/saved/JNzFf7
Some things you should know:
-Tried my best to stay around the $1000 budget, but wouldn't mind spending a bit more especially for future-proofing.
-I will not and do not plan on overclocking whatsoever.
-I'm sure a lot of people are going to comment on my choice of CPU cooler. I chose it mainly to maximize space because of the limited space of the chosen case, and to have a quieter overall build.
-I'm going with 80plus Gold because this computer will most likely be on 10+ hours everyday (if not 24/7). 650W because at the price point, it seems justified. Also, I want full modular again because of the case.
Some things I want to know:
-I skimped on the components as much as I could while still allowing me to sleep at night. However, I'm iffy about my choice of the motherboard. What do you guys think?
-At this point I'm unsure of the fan config. The options are:
1) 140mm up front, h60 and another 120mm at the side
2) single h80i push/pull at the front.
Both options, all fans are intake.
*I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY PARTS UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH FROM NOW. Does anybody know if any new components that fit my needs will be releasing anytime soon (primarily a H97 mobo)?
