I had a gaming pc before, but I bought it from ironsidecomputer.com
I decided this time, I won't just talk like I know what I'm talking about (people think im really good with pcs irl) I'll actually walk that walk.
So I built my first pc to great success! (big ups to the newegg's how to build a pc guide, this forum, and reddits buildapc forum)
Now onto the actual rating! I scavenged parts out of my old pc
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HZVHpg is the list of parts
New are the mother board, processor, and cooling system. (The graphics card is actually a radeon 6850)
1-10?
and how cost efficient do you think it is? (Id have put more into the card, but im using my old one and just plan to go ballz out on one during black friday, this card should easily last me till then)

Update!!!, I purchased a corsair HX 750 from my local Micro center for 86$, which seemed like a steal compared to the prices for the same PSU on newegg and amazon.
Upgrading my i5 4690k to a i5 4790k for about 70$ as well (279.99 excluding tax)
I also plan to get a gtx 970 mid october
new link, will be my true blue complete system

What I would do is put the sound card money towards the motherboard and get the UD5H or the MAXIMUS VII.. I did not see that you bought the HX for $86. That actually is a decent deal so I wouldn't worry about that too much. A 750W EVGA G2 would have been good but the HX isn't that bad
