Is this gaming build any use?
Last response: in Systems
Hello,
This is my first rig (am finally jumping away from my consoles) so would appreciate any constructive feedback for this build. I know it's a bit expensive at the moment, so any suggestions on what I should cut back on would be great. Although I would like the build to be good for the next few years, is this rig a colossal waste of my money?

Your build is good on the core components, but the PSU, although good quality, is pretty loud and overkill in watts. Get a 550W XFX PSU if going with one 670 or a TX750 V2 for 2 670s. The Noctua NH-D14 performs the same but it is cheaper. Drop the sound card unless you have a great headset to go with it.
