The Asus optical drive has reports of cds blowing up inside of it. I'd recommend an LG

Part selection is poor, i'll post an improved build in a sec.
McAfee isn't necessary, they aren't very good, and there are many free programs which will get the same result, if not better.

Why the 2 storage? I'm new to this and I don't see the point?

Chugalug_ · Aug 24, 2016

The SSD is essentially a really fast HDD with significantly faster read/write speeds.
You know how when you boot up your PC it can sometimes take around a minute?
With that SSD it takes about 20 seconds on average.
It is typically only meant for the OS and select software due to the price per GB, and it will not give any improvements in games apart from faster loading times, hence why a HDD is included.

Alright I'm sold

Double post, but are the 2 storage drives going to be able to fit into the case?

Chugalug_ :

Woah triple post but I was thinking about bumping up the CPU to i5-6600, would this be a good idea?
