I would not totally agree with the comments of that link up there. Yes, I agree that I would stay away from Ibuypower and cyberpower on principal. They've not really had that god of a reputation and I have on multiple occasions tried to steer people away from them. The parts included in this build are different

With that being said I like that build, a lot. The 750GQ is high quality. I would NOT use the H55 with the 6700K EVER. I would use the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF2DZ6565&cm_re=cryorig_H7-_-13C-000U-00005-_-Product Crorig H7 instead. That's a little to slim to allow the 212 Evo. I would also add a 1TB HDD storage drive that you also use to backup your most important stuff and your Steam and Origin game files should that SSD die.480GB isn't that much when some games exceed 50GB. I did see Adata. They aren't the greatest SSDs on the market but that's what's in my PC and I don't have any complaints. Overall I like that build. It does need some help but in the end, it's up to you.

I had to change some of the components since in default they would not name the manufactures of some of their parts. I have spare 1TB HDD and 212 EVO cooler so it's not a problem. I just found out that Ibuypower charger sales tax in WA so it really ruins that deal. I'll just wait for black Friday or Cyber Monday and just go with GTX 1070 instead of 1080 and maybe even get I5 instead of I7. I already see Rosewill ARC-M650, ARC Series 650W Modular Power Supply on NEWEGG for $30 after rebate. Not sure how good that PSU but will do my research.

Thanks so much for the reply!!!
