So I basically bought most of this already because of a bunch of sales, but I'd like to hear if there is anything I should or should not have done. I still need to get the processor and motherboard, along with the graphics card, but I'm waiting for the custom cards to come out. I am well within the budget I set, so comments about saving a few bucks isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Mostly about brands that were chosen and stuff like that. I'm pretty sure I might have overkilled on the power supply, but the sale made the EVGA 750W Platinum Semi-Mod the same price as the Corsair 650W Gold Full-Mod (which I was told to get), so I figured, why not.

 

So did I screw up or am I good to go? Thanks!

 

Side note: I'm building this for Video and Art production first and for games second.

This is just a screen cap so we can't see prices or edit the part list. If you post just the link for the list it would be better.

Replacement cooler for CPU?

 

Slow as f SATA SSD (by SSD standards), if you stick to SATA I'd use either 860 Evo, MX500 or SU800

 

Wait for custom Navi cards, they overclock well but the blower holds them back

 

If you dont go liquid cooling, get more fans for the top of the case

I would of went for the H500M the one with the mesh instead of plastic over the front fans, it has much better airflow.

This is a great build my friend.  You did good.  However if I was you I would get a 64GB KIT ,, not 2    32GB KITS ,, this is for stability.  So if you really need 64GB ram buy the 64GB KIT.  Other then that your good to go.

I don't plan on overclocking anytime soon so the Prisma Cooler it comes with should be fine. Also forgot to put I did get 2 140mm Corsiar ML fans for the top. Did notice I got the wrong SSD but its just for storage anyway so Ill think on that.

Oh, then I miss understood what I've been learning about them. It seemed the mother bored was what determined that and it looked like I needed two dual kits. Thanks.
