Hey guys!

Do you think someone could review my pc build? I started with a $400 dollar budget... But, you know how these things go. I'm trying to build a gaming PC. I intend to overclock my cpu, but I'm not sure if the fan will allow for much overclocking or even enough to make a difference. It would be great if I could get some input on that.

Here's a link to my part picker: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dNYQvK

Also, I have a 330Gb ssd laying around somewhere so that will be included in the build, just not on the price picker site.

Thank you!
Michael
