Hey first timer here, just wanted to know what yall think of this build. The goal was to keep it under 800 dollars before rebates and including shipping etc.
Let me know what I could improve to cut cost but increase the bang for the buck! Thank you in advance.

Everything is good except for the power supply, that is one of the bad psus. Get a Seasonic or XFX 550W psu for the same price.

Awesome bang-for-buck build. Almost perfect depending on which psu that is. What series Corsair is that?
