How good is this build?
My friend asked me to chose some components for a new PC, so I came up with this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8bRJNG. The case he wants wasn't on PCPartPicker so: http://www.amazon.com/raidmax-vortex-atx-404wb-supply-g.... My question is, is it good? How well do you reckon performance will be? It is also slightly over budget, so where can I save some bucks without sacrificing performance?
Thanks.

I'd get 1866 ram instead.

And a Seasonic M12II 520 PSU.


Cool! The PSU seems much better, albeit lower in power than the original. Any suggestions for RAM?

I like 8.1 Pro but if you aren't using features like Hyper V or Remote Desktop (IIRC you can host a remote machine on Core, but you need Pro to access it. That might be wrong through) but aside from all that, system looks beefy. I5's don't get enough love in my book.
