I have been waiting for months and now I can buy my gaming PC! Lots of trouble choosing parts and I just want some last tips/comments about my build and for a first time builder.
http:// Build

I'm worried about the wiring of the case and such but I'm a clean freak and I'll take hours wiring and the builds I saw with the cougar spike is good enough especially considering the price. I chose the R9 270 because its cheaper and preforms just a bit under compared to the 270x/760 GPUs, did I mention the Price to Performance? I got the 8320 with T4 cooler for some very very slight overclocks and a nice solid cooler that will last me awhile with low noise, the board doesn't worry me at all, very good ratings and a big plus on having VRM Heatsinks, USB3.0 Header, and a full black look. Lastly I picked a high quality 8GB stick, Tier 1/2a Seasonic PSU, and a simple 1TB seagate drive.

Sorry for the long post, just want to make sure I get my reasons out for each part so it'll be easier to understand, I'm very excited and feel almost scared, Please give me some tips, I'm really anxious like going to present first in class anxious. By the way I'll be doing some video editing, lightroom, and mainly BF4 Gaming.

Yes, you could buy it all from newegg, bit its more expensive to do it that way. If you want to go intel and want it all from 1 store

The biggest issue I see is a FX 8320 on a 960g chipset, those boards are notorious for having throttling issues under high cpu load which can cause games to stutter. Get atleast a board with a 970 chipset. Next issue is the ram you should get 2x4Gb sticks for dual channel operation.

Is it possible to get it in one site? I'm not sure my parent's will allow me to use their credit card in 6 Different sites :p If the problem is the motherboard I'll switch it out, I'm more confused :$ Should I just get an i3 4130 and a H97 board? FML LOL SORRY
