Hi there. I am in the process of buying a new gaming PC. I have one all picked out, but I would like some advice to whether any of the parts I am adding may not be a good choice. I am not really looking to make the computer any more expensive, and I am not really planning on modifying the computer once it arrives (at least for a few years), but I am open to making any changes that would help me get the best out of my new computer. Also, any advice about the website I am ordering from is also welcome. Thank you.

Hahaha Go ahead and buy this , there won't be much difference as your CPU is a beast .

The only thing I would change is the PSU and get something like Seasonic or XFX

Thank you for your fast reply. I am not sure if I can hold off though, my old computer is dead, and I am currently using a laptop that overheats from solitaire. I need a new computer asap.

OK, I'll change the PSU to 850 Watt - XFX Core Edition PRO850W - 80 PLUS Bronze, it's only a tiny bit more money. And I'll call the company tomorrow to ask about the new processor. Thank you again for your fast and helpful advice.
