So I finally settled on the parts for my high end gaming upgrade and was wondering if there's any problems.

*edited to include the GPU* http://pcpartpicker.com/list/stbw7h



Since I'm on a tight budget I'm recycling the case and drives (including an optical drive and a couple of HDD's used for media stoarage not on the list) from my old build. I know a lot of people like to go for flashy cases but the one I have is solid and looks nice where I have it set up in my house. I'm pretty much looking at this setup to last for at least 5 years and I'll probably only be doing 1080p gaming with a possibility of going VR in the next year or 2. Any serious issues here? I appreciate the feedback.

No problem. That is a fine looking system, and everything should work well together. Have fun putting it together, and ignore any previous advice on other parts you could have bought for this build. Every time I build a machine, I learn something different I would do/use for my next one.

The Hybrid drive isn't the boot drive it's mainly the "gaming drive" it has all my gaming apps like Steam and all my games on it. And the GPU is an MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X card. Also none of the prices listed are indicative of what I paid.

Yeah, these parts are being delivered except for the case and drives which I already have. The list I posted is just the parts that'll comprise my new rig and not what I paid. Im just not so savvy with these forums to post a straight up list like others do.

Thanks. I actually used to build and repair PC's for a living after graduating from college. I've figured that in the year or so I worked for the company I probably built close to 750 rigs or other devices (besides standard PC's and servers we did a lot of medical devices like eye scanners and dialysis machines) and probably repaired around 200 or so systems. So I get what you're saying. The biggest mistake I ever made as far as home computing is concerned was buying a cheap rig off the shelf instead of building myself. Especially considering my experience. I just never put together a high end gaming rig before. And it's been at least 3 years since I built a system so my confidence is a little bit waning. Hopefully it's like riding a bike. And hopefully everything will boot up okay because I may know hardware but once it comes to software stuff I get lost pretty easily.
