Hi, this is my first time building a computer and I've done a fair amount of research. I'm about to purchase my parts. Can you guys check my build and tell me if there are any issues that I missed? Thank you.

CPU cooler is not any better than a $30 air cooler and will be MUCH louder.

Need a HDD, not just SSD

PSU is low quality. Replace with Antec, XFX, Seasonic unit.

Why can't I just have an SSD? I don't need that much space. Thanks for the other suggestions.

It has to remain 20% free space and it will only be like 235gb when it is formatted so you are looking less than 200gb real space.

That will be full as soon as you install more than 3 games. I promise you will find yourself needing the space.

Ok, I can't afford a ssd & hdd combo. So I decided to go with a hybrid drive. Haven't done much research on these so I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I have also updated my build.

I don;t like Hybrid drives. They really offer nothing over a normal HDD in terms of speeds in the real world.

Get a 120gb SSD, and a 1tb HDD. Problem solved. Easy.

Updated build looks good.
