Looks good but I suggest waiting till after Computex that starts the 31. Intel could due anything from cut prices to launch a whole new plateform. Everthing on your list works together and should do great.

Ok will you please say me when Computex starts the 31. Or how can i check it

Here is the website and it lasts for 4~5 days. Looks like Intel has events on 2 days.

500GB will fill up fast, especially with games easily taking 50GB each... so added a 1TB HDD.
RAM is RAM is RAM. In this case, faster RAM for less.
Fastest GPU within the pricing of your selected GPU... It will perform better.

If budget allows, perhaps update the PSU for one that is semi or fully modular. It helps keep the case cleaner looking plus helps airflow by not having unused cables in the way.

shrapnel_indie :

Or just get a case with plenty of room to stow the cables where they won't interfere with airflow. :lol:

Carnaxus :

OR you can do both: get a case with great airflow and room, and a PSU that is semi or fully modular, Zero chance of hindering airflow with unused cables, plus the build doesn't look messy. Yeah you can go non-modular, but I'd only recommend it if your budget is tight and going modular would give you a PSU that was a time-bomb.

For the record, I was mostly just being silly. The Tower 900 is way more than what most people will ever need. I bought one because I love how it looks and how easy it is to fit everything inside, but it's not really something I needed.
