It's my 1st time building a computer from scratch. I would LOVE extra opinions on my build. I'm already over my max but it's fine. But I don't want to go higher.
What I want is a gaming computer that will be able to handle games coming out in the next few years, like Shadows of Mordor and Dragon Age Inquisition. Not big into FPS's so I don't need something that will handle fast paced action but I would like to have one just because. Sandbox games and RTS's are mainly what I play.

Here are the links to the parts.

I'd buy and fit a custom cooler if you ever want to overclock the CPU.

I wouldn't buy all those fans till after I'd tried out the case with just what it comes with.

Good build.
