First ever Build for 1080p gaming !

[KyletheMaestro]

Hello friends check out my build here http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kylethe...o/saved/8jddnQ

ok I am bit of noob when it comes to PC building since this is my first, I am primarily looking to build a PC to play modded skyrim in 1080p among other games. Is this build good enough? or is it overkill?

What would you change or upgrade ?

If you want to save money, consider getting a gtx 770 instead of a 780, depending on the games you will play and if you want to upgrade in the near future

For the price difference and the models I would get. the 780 is definitely worth the money for squeezing out the extra frames !

Change that RAM. It runs at 1.65 volts and intel recommends 1.5. I'm pretty sure running 1.65 v RAM voids warranty on the CPU

It will work fine.
