Hi. Looks good. You may want to look at the GSkill Ripjaws Series X again as you can get 1600 Mhz at 8,8,8,24 which is lower than what you have listed.

 

[Horrigan]

all right so all those components fit together.

Any other input?

Thanks

No. Looks good. I just mentioned the Lower latency / timing memory, just in case. What you had listed was fine.

Looks like a good build but I would go with a power supply from Seasonic or XFX(rebranded seasonic). Theye are the best power supply units and will make sure all of your new parts are safely powered.

Alos, I would just go with 1 SSD and 1 HDD. I'd recommend the $80 Samsung 120GB EVO and the $130 Western digital 2TB black drive.

I would agree with the single SSD either Plextor or Samsung ( 256 Gb or 512 Gb if the budget allows ). The Seagate Barracuda is fine, or go to 2 TB instaed of 1 Tb. The poer supply should be fine, but not one that I usually recommend. It is Gold Rated, so tells me that they have used good stuff such as caps inside. I have used EVGA video cards for years and their quality is top notch on those things. Wouldn't surprise me to find that they are made by Seasonic ( some of the Corsairs are ).
