Hey all, I was wondering If I could get some help. I am thinking about switching from xbox to pc for gaming. I was thinking about building my own, as it is much cheaper. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/1412053/saved/2oRb this is what I have come up with, and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for modification on things that are overkill or missing. Any suggestions are welcome, but I would prefer to stay under 900 dollars, Thanks!

can you get this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1F3kd
...i know it is 34$ more..but this is a more solid build when it comes to gaming... it has a better MoBo,,more powerfull GPU...and a better PSU...(for its price)..also i have changed the RAM to 8GB as it will be enough for gaming...16GB for now is way to much for gaming...
 
That's a good build ShaBaz Khan; the only thing I would change is the RAM. While the Corsair heat spreaders look cool, they might impede if OP wants a air cooler in the future. The Vengance is also not really significantly cheaper to warrant not going for 16GB. Go for 8GB, but I am pretty sure there are cheaper sets.

You could also go with the XFX 550W Pro Series to save a little cash too.

the 1st one is an OC version...that means it is pre overclocked and will be having a better cooling system...
