Hello everyone, I am a college student with a bit of extra cash on the side and have managed to work in my budget a completely overkill, completely unnecessary computer that I will be using for software development and also gaming.

I am going to be honest, I personally have never built a computer, I have done plenty of research though including books, and watching videos and browsing this forum as well.

My question is... Is there any problems that I could possibly run into with this build? Anything that a new person would get stumped on or any recommendations concerning the built / parts.

Also as a college student I'm entitled to a free windows operating system, but I was planning on just taking the one from my computer now.

Thanks

It should run fine. I'd probably try to squeeze in a 980ti given the smallish price difference between them, but there aren't any obvious issues I see with the parts. A nice big case -- and you chose one that is both -- really helps a novice builder by having features that reduce headaches and enough space to get the hang of building.

One thing to note that if your current PC has the OEM version of Windows, you can't just take the one from your old PC. The OEM/System Builder editions are tied to the motherboard and while Microsoft will generally be helpful if you're simply replacing a broken motherboard, they're usually much less so when it's obviously a new buidl.

Honestly its a very solid build, all parts are very high spec, the only thing I would suggest is spend a little more and get the 980ti over the 980 as the performance per pound increase is pretty big, apart from that Bravo nice build :)
