Newbie Building PC

[cdveloso]

Is there any modifications or changes that could be made? I want to make sure that everything works in harmony and performs without any problems, while maximizing performance.

This build comes with a keyboard and monitor. No mouse.
Do you guys think the wireless network is necessary?

The aim: An everyday PC that will last years, and occasionally used for gaming that will run majority of games at maximum performance.

Problem is, I built this PC online. I live in Melbourne, Australia and I can't find any other services that offer good prices. And when I was building it, they only offered intel processors that are LGA 1150 sockets

Plus, I have no experience to make the PC by hand. In other words, I have to get the PC made by someone in the service.

you dont need any expericence to build it yourself.
there are many guides/videos, shows you step by step how to do it. like lego

Won't I like need to buy the static discharge wrist thing too. I'm afraid that I will destroy sensitive components.

Thanks for the input. I'll think about making it myself. But if I can't, is this build good?

I removed the soundcard because this mobo has already a pretty kick ass 7.1 sound system integrated.
