What brand is the PSU? Is it 80+ Bronze or higher Certified?

What do you plan on using the PC for? If just gaming and no intensive video editing or rendering, drop down to the i5-2500k. If you're gaming, also downgrade to 8GB of RAM.

What exactly is the max cash you can spend?

That build looks good, buddy. I don't know much about the graphics card, but I'll check it up and edit this post.

Edit: Just a little comment on azeem's post: I agree with you there. If you are just gaming, the i5-2500k would be a good way to save money. The reason I didn't say this myself was because you asked for compatibility.

Yeah I live stream my gaming about 8-12 hours a day and do some day trading. I just hope I can put it together and works xD.

I agree with the i5 2500k being a better idea, could also go with just 8gigs of ram, and invest the money saved from those 2 things and get a gtx 570 or gtx 580.

Hehe, when I saw the subject line it looked like something you would say to your doctor during a physical...

...Anyway back to the subject at hand. I would definitely go with the i5 2500k (I did in fact). It's also a great cpu to overclock with ease. Also, don't know if you've considered it but if you could put your OS on an SSD that makes a world of difference as well.

Thanks for picking me as the best answer, Bangerz. Good luck with your build.

P.S. I'm building my first computer too. I'm waiting on parts. They should all arrive next week. :Anxious:
