Build Opinions

[stevemenendez]

I have recently assembled a build and i would like your opinions.

I am confident of my choices on cpu and gpu but i want opinions on the psu, motherboard, ram, and such

I am open to any of your opinions on the build.

Here is the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XhmYm8

Pretty good. However:

-that's a Founders Edition card, which **has** once of the loudest and hottest (and priciest) coolers on the market.

-Also, that PSU is extreme overkill.

 

Improved build:

Useful details to add are exactly what you will be doing on the machine and examples.

Do you have goal in mind for someone reviewing your build such as gaining performance or saving money?

If gaming what resolution are you aiming for?

I agree to half of it because a card is not a cooler
