First Gaming Build, Looking for Advice

[Idddddddd]

Hello, this is my first gaming build and I am looking for advice on ways to maybe improve or make it cheaper, but have around the same capabilities. Games I would be looking to play on this build are H1Z1, CSGO, Forza (Ultra Quality) , Overwatch, and Destiny when it comes out. Thank you!

The only suggestion I might have is to up the wattage of the psu. Otherwise awesome build. Should have fun gaming on that!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Nice choice. I use a 750 g2. 850 is quite a bit actually. You won't need that unless you add another gpu or something but too much is better than too little.
