Hi there! This is my first time building a pc. I am a big gamer and would like to build a rig that can lift most games on high settings. I have a list on pc part picker that you can view Here (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kaves/saved/XqhFf7).
All i'm missing is a good power supply, however, after looking around for a day or two I can't find one that really stands out above the rest. Any recommendations?
 
I'll tell you two things , first of all why didnt you go with next gen CPUs ? And secondly its not wise not to spend at least 35% of your budget on the GPU , instead of spending 150 dollars on a case you can get a $40 case and save towards the GPU which is the cutting edge when it comes to gaming.
I'll make a build for you .
 
My build is more expensive simply because your motherboard doesn't have a cost to it and no PSU , Mine will outperform yours in gaming.
