SSD: Samsung 840 pro 256Gb

We need to know your budget and the purpose of this rig to give you better help rather blindly guessing

Sorry about that, I will mainly be using the pc to game and record/edit videos to upload to youtube. My budget is $2000, and I will be using www.pccasegear.com to order as I am located in Australia. Thanks.

My advice is, if you're serious about that game recording, you're better off getting a video capturing device, that way game and recording program, don't tax your GPU both at the same time , so while the device captures video, your gpu can put it full resources to provide better fps, so you video later look smoother overall.

Switch the Case to a $100 one that you like (Corsair 500R, Fractal R4, Antec)

Up RAM to 16GBs

I would stick with the i7 for a $2000 build

If you want to OC a lot get the D14 CPU cooler, if not stick with the Hyper.

If you plan to SLI/CF get a 750W PSU

I would switch GPU to a 7970 Ghz edition
