What would you change with this build? Im settled with that graphics card but any suggestions with other parts?

Thanks

The only thing I saw would be if you wanted your RAM to match your motherboard color scheme. If so, then G.Skill Sniper RAM would look nice.

ODST120 :

I dont mind how it looks inside just the performance and price

But thanks for the tip

Are the corsair CS models good quality? I don't remember... I thought it was only AX, HX, and another model. Anyways, here's one with a 80+ Gold.

I'm pretty sure the consensus is that Seasonic, Antec, and XFX are good quality and will last long while some Corsair models won't last very long after heavy usage, like gaming.

I recommend that you go with an Asus Motherboard , MSI Mobos sometimes is a hit or miss

TopLuca :

Agreed. I have used Asus motherboards in all of my builds, and never had a single problem.

Would you change anything with this build?
