hye guys..this is my first time here,
well, after reading a few comment from folks that has been asking for their build to be revised by this community and receiving quite a welcoming feedback i decided to join this forum too..

maybe i`ve no experience in handling desktop part but i`ve quit a few experience in handling some laptop part and kinda understand the basic of building a pc, after a hour of youtube video bout building pc and tonnes of review and tutorial...

OK, sorry for the long intro...this is my build, can u guys help me revise it?

all combined prices is & 966.42 <-- quotation from newegg after rebate and all sort of things..

most of the time i`ll be playing DoTa2 and probably bf4 that was given free by buying the GPU.. but i need a lil bit of performance because sometimes i`ll be using this rig for rendering a video, editing picture,...and i was hoping to that this system will be able to stay for 5-6 years without having any problem playing any game even at low setting..

BTW i`ll be so grateful for all of the helps from toms techies
thanks guys...

what sort of overclock did you want on the cpu? if only 4.2 or 4.3 you can save money and go with a 8320 instead. if you want higher then stay with the 8350.

what resolution do you plan on playing bf4 at? the 270 can get 34-62 at ultra at 1920x1080. you might want to upgrade to the 270x or perhaps 280x for a bit of future proofing.

i would pick a seasonic (or xfx since they are made by seasonic) psu over the evga one.

overall the build doesnt look too bad.
