Ok this is going to be the first time building a custom pc. All the parts are going to be purchased from newegg. I need a computer for editing in after effects. I will use it for gaming aswell, but mostly for games like cod4, CS:GO, etc. Please give me suggestions and recommendations if the parts listed should be changed for something better, or, are not compatible with each other.

P.S: I don't think I will be OC'ing any time soon.

Hi. That build looks good. I'm sure you know that the promo codes will expire in a day or two. You can install Windows with a USB drive if you don't need an optical drive. You can get a cheaper motherboard but if you like this one, go for it. You can get the GTX 660 from MSI, Gigabyte, etc. but again if you like this one, go for it.

Yes its good

You dont need that power supply though

A 450 watt unit can handle that build

Ye the PowerSupply is sick, but a bit overkill.

I would take the Antec Neo Eco 620 watt right now.
It's 30 bucks at Newegg after mail in rebate og that unit is made by SeaSonic. So same quality - just not 80 Gold and Modular!
