Any advice, improvements for my first build??

Why a Micro-ATX board in an ATX case?

Would bump the SSD to 128GB, 64GB doesn't go that far once you format it and install Windows.

Other than those, looks good.

will get the 128gb then. uummm.. can u suggest any good atx motherboards? not too pricey though.   Thanks alot

thanxx alot man.

Well first up you might want to upgrade the SSD to a 120/128GB one.They aren't much more expensive but they are a lot faster and the additional capacity is good to have.

The motherboard you picked isn't very good for overclocking.

The power supply is overkill for just one card and not enough for two cards (assuming you OC).

The graphics card you chose is very heavy and is known to bend PCI-E slots.You might want to buy a Sapphire HD 7950 OC instead.

The Corsair Carbide 500R is a great case but im not sure you really need such a high end case.

And lastly Seagate hard drives aren't very reliable.I'd pick a Western Digital Caviar Blue/Black instead.

You could change all that OR ill just give you a link to a PC that's much better than the one you've made.
