Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to build a gaming PC. Nothing super fancy but still able to play games at higher than normal settings while doing some web browsing on a second monitor. I built a PC for around $1100 but I'm not sure if this is enough or if there are a few places I could afford to drop a few dollars. Please let me know http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BNmgCJ

Better PSU
Better SSD (No need for 2)
Added HDD for storage
