Hello Gang,

I intend to play World of Warcraft on Ultra settings as well as play a few games on Steam. I had the help with a few community members in creating this build. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I intend to start buying tonight. Thank you!

I would change the cooler master tx3 for the cooler master 212 and use a little cheaper PSU. Or just change the cooler master.
The FX 6300 is just as good for gaming and less TDP, you could try that too.

Thermaltake Smart 550 is currently 30$ on newegg, 5 year warranty, it's not made by seasonic but channel well is not a bad manufacturer. The thing is, I don't recommend a better piece and just make people pay more, I have to reduce costs elsewhere.

Which is why I told him also that he can go cheaper in processor with same game performance too instead of changing the power supply if he wanted. In every case possible the channel well production is not a bad choice, there is a reason why corsair trust them.

My recomendations are also the "you can" type. That doesn't mean under all cimcurmstances that he will buy Ponasuanic PSU's.

FYI the motherboard on this build didn't supply power to anything. We tested the power supply on another board and everything came on fine. I submitted an RMA and went for the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX instead. Hopefully this one works out for me!
