Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I have put lots of time and research into this build I would like the hardware to be upgradable down the line and this seems like it can do just that

Very nice build, not really all that budget. lol

But the PSU is waaaayyyy overkill. Also not of a brand that I would suggest.

Next time look at a PSU from Antec, Corsair, Coolermaster with a 80 PLUS rating. A 650W at most.

8.5/10

95$ only a 15$ difference from the kingwin and i split the difference at 750W total with tax and shipped comes to 966$
anything else as far as compatibility or up/downgrades i should look at?

and thank you for your input

ok whats your opinion on 7200 rpm 6.0g/s 64mb cache v 3.0g/s 32mb cache

Get which ever is cheaper. There's not much difference in performance where it will blow your mind. Get a SSD for that :D
