This is my first custom build so yeah Tell me what you guys think.

The GPU is a little weak. The HDD is overpriced. The case looks cool but doesn't have USB 3.0 support for the front ports. 16GB RAM is an overkill for gaming. The motherboard is overpriced and overkill. The 212 EVO is a bit better cooler. Here is what I would suggest. (Threw in an SSD as you will like the performance increase in Read/Write speeds.)

If you plan to SLI your video card later, you should get a 750W PSU now but you will have a better experience with a single card.

Yeah I plan to upgrade my GPU in the future. As my price range is 700$. I got almost all these items on sale so it was 700$. I'll get a SSD and the Hyper 212 Evo.

Thanks for the help man
