Hey folks! Long time lurker, signed up to ask this question and hopefully start to get involved on the site.

I'm well enough aware of the process, but never actually built my own machine from scratch before. I've been looking at parts and so on, and think i've got a good build at a decent price.

The last thing that I want is to buy the parts and then find that something is incompatible / bottlenecking the system. Would some good folks with more experience kindly check it over for me and see if there are any glaring faults?

The build is for mostly for recording and editing gaming footage, I'm wanting it to be fairly solid for a few years. I'll be doubling up the RAM fairly soon after purchasing (the 8GB isn't perfect, but should get it running at least) and possibly be looking into possibly adding a second GPU in a couple of years.

(Hopefully) you can see the build here:

Many thanks in advance!



Additional Info:

I've only every really had Intel CPU's and Nividia GPU's, and never had any problems with them. That makes me reluctant to shift to AMD: "If its not broken, don't fix it."

My current rig is an Arbico computer, running a GTX560 SE. I've had some minor problems with it, but I think the main issue is with the power supply. Is the PSU here going to be enough?

It's a phenomenal build. Very capable.

One caveat. That PSU is a tier-3 PSU. The lower-powered models in the RM range is made by Channel Well (a top tier PSU manufacturer) , but the RM 750W is not.

I'd suggest Seasonic, XFX or EVGA at that power range.
