http://pcpartpicker.com/list/NQ7mLD These are all the parts I picked out for a new PC. I'm not that experienced on PCs yet. So I was hoping if anyone had any opinions on what I should switch out or keep. I just want the best out of my build so I can be happy with it. If anyone has any suggestions for what to change please comment. Thank you.
 
You gotta have 2 sticks of ram. 8GB is fine if that is all you want, but it would absolutely need to be 2x4GB sticks. 16GB is probably a better bet for your rig though to be honest. So FOR SURE 2 sticks of ram.

Build looks GREAT. A perfect combination and will look great.

EVGA isn't my first choice for power supplies, but shoot, if i trust their GPUs and Motherboards - why not?

Great build.

Here is a must better build for the price. I changed the CPU cooler to a better altenative, changed the 8GB of RAM (too little for today's games) to 16GB, threw in an SSD (a must have for any mid-range and up build; still kept the hard drive for a total 1.25TB of storage), and changed the bad-quality PSU to a much better and reliable model.

Good luck! :D

Umm, no.

EVGA NEX Series PSUs are bad quality and should never be used in a build. He doesn't even use an SSD and 2 sticks of RAM is preferable but not necessary.
 
There are better psu's for the price. Evga's aren't horrible but that's a g1 unit and the b2/g2 are better quality than their b1/g1 lineup. Maybe consider something like this one.

Most people buy ram in dual channel kits but you don't 'have' to have 2x4gb. It will work just fine with a single stick and countless tests have been done that show nearly no perceptible difference in real world applications dual vs single channel. What may have a bit more impact is ram speed, maybe consider ddr4 2400 or ddr4 3000 depending on prices you're looking at. 2133 is at the bottom end of ddr4 speeds. Here's a dual channel kit at 2400 speeds for the same price as the ddr4 2133 you chose with shipping.

Depending how far you're looking to overclock, a better cooler may help. Something like this in place of the 212 evo.

The yellow fan may be a bit offputting, not sure what you'd think of it. The cooling performance for the price is hard to beat though, competes with the nh-d14 for 2/3 the price.

The 212 evo is alright, may not allow for max overclocks. I'm not fond of the way it mounts, it's a bit sloppy but does ok once it's mounted. Using one on one of my pc's, had the cryorig h7 been around when I put that system together I would have rather gone that route.

Your build is good, the suggestions were just minor tweaks to get a bit more for the money you're looking to spend. Slightly better performing or better quality parts without adding to the overall price much.
