What do you think of this build?
I'm using it for general use, gaming and graphic design programs (adobe),
The SSD I'm using to run the windows op and the other for storage
I'm keeping it at around $1,200 max (AUD) I don't want to skimp on parts for example I understand I could get a cheaper power supply but I want to keep it as is and same deal with the case (Looks nice)
I'm sticking with the I5 and making it around that, not upping it into the I7 or Xeon and I'm not going with AMD (nothing against it I just have the option to upgrade easier with intel)
Questions:
I'm not sure if I'll overclock it but if I do will I need an extra fan?
Will this build work without bottlenecking?
Would it be wise to fill out all my ram slots? (eg. 4x 2gb DDR3-1600)
Are there any extras I could do with?
