Oh, good! I will save this parts list as well the previous one. Yea, I'll do a bit of comparing between MicroCenter and Amazon. Yes, I will look into MicroCenter's combo deals and see if I can save some money. Thanks for all of your trouble to figure out the parts list.

Yes, I do live near a MicroCenter. I just might buy some of the parts there and order the rest through Amazon.

Thanks for the review. I knew I forgot something... the PSU, duh! I have to get all parts through Amazon due to my Amazon account. Therefore, the pricing is about $40 higher over my maximum budget of $1,200, but that's OK. I will take your parts list and save it and wait for others to reply. Thanks again!

Go with this build. Faster processor.

That first line in your previous post... where did you get this idea that those computer components cannot be trusted? Did a little blue bird tell you this? Regarding the wattage of the PSU, sure, I could have gone with lower wattage PSU, but why? These days, many of us, myself included, have a number of devices that are plugged into the computer using the various ports (USBs for example) and the extra wattage will handle those external devices without compromising the wattage needs of the internal computer components.

Let's see... how much of a jackass you are... you did not post any of the following: No recommended computer components. Check No recommended computer upgrade components. Check No recommended computer build. Check Before you spout off criticizing others, how about doing some restraining of your own?

You did not state what your budget amount is. I used Amazon Germany for the parts list.

That's the problem with opinions. Opinions are usually NOT based on facts. Very subjective. Just saying...

2nd drive will serve as a backup of the first HDD. That's the logical way of dealing with data.

Where is your proof of this claim? Post links to show proof.

The closest country that I can find is Germany and I used Amazon Germany for the parts and pricing in Euros.

1. Regardless if the CPU is locked or not, a high-quality liquid cooler is essential for heavy duty computing/gaming. My 2nd computer is similar to this build and I have done a lot of full CPU loads and that Kraken X42 liquid cooler does a great job keeping that CPU nice and cool. My 2nd computer build was a $2,000 build and no way I'm going to put in a cheap CPU cooler on it. 2. So what? Did you see the original poster's maximum budget? That mainboard includes a WiFi, which frees up a bus slot for other adapters. Team Vulcan 2666MHz memory (2x8GB) is listed at $172. Why pay $18 more to purchase a slower bus memory modules? (using Amazon or Newegg as vendors. I do not check other vendors for pricing) 3. The original poster did not request a mechanical keyboard. The pricing of power supply units are beyond my control, but putting in a poor cheap and low energy efficient PSU in a $1,500 computer build doesn't make any sense. So, why not put in a high-quality PSU with better energy efficiency to assure long-term usage of that computer build?
