Hey guys, I'm building my first PC (It's for gaming) ever and I would like some help\Feedback with it.

Here is the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CvnpD3

I haven't ordered anything yet so everything can change, And I also haven't picked a case yet I just find it unnecessary.

Thank you for your time

Might want a CPU cooler, the Hyper 212 EVO would be good, maybe kick DRAM up to 1866 or 2133, I'd change the mobo, won't build on MSI due to poor QC, maybe up to the Z97-A from Asus or even the Z97 Killer from the Rock

My CPU already has a cooler built in, Also I'm quite on the edge of my budget so I might keep the motherboard and I changed the RAM only because it was running out of stock and it still might be a while before I order everything, I will update the link now

Sounds like a plan (the Killer is $5 less at the Egg ;)  )

Nvidia is releasing it's 800 series GTX cards in october, so I imagine that you could save a bit of money on that 780 when everyone is trading in their's for 880's, and retailers are desperate to get rid of old stock.

Since I'm too poor to afford the top-end GPUs, I haven't been following the prices of the 780s too closely, but ~ $470 AR for an ASUS 780Ti sounds pretty good if you need to buy now.

Enjoy your beast of a rig. Me and my GTX 670 will be jealous:)

Not to be rude or anything but are builds are almost exactly the same, But yours is just a little bit cheaper (mine is $1,462.09 with everything from amazon) also the CPU has built in cooler so you don't need a separate one, I think why yours is allot cheaper than mine if you remove the case (I don't have one in my build) is because your storage isn't an SSD (mine is about $444)

So rigth now my estimated wattage is about 430w, Will a 750w PSU do the job??

A good 600 will be more than enough and have extra for OCing and add ons
