I'm so happy to hear that, after everyone shooting down my ideas throughout the week

It looks overall like a fairly solid build. However, I would go ahead and try to go with a better Power Supply. The one you have is fine now but if you ever wanted to throw in a second 770 you'd just be making that upgrade 100-200$ more expensive.

Ya feel?

Thermal paste is unnecessary.

how? what if he wants to re apply in 6 months?

 

also saying that to someone who doesnt know anything about computers may make them think you dont have to have thermal paste at all!

you don't need extra thermal paste. also, do you really need the wifi card?

A Higher Wattage PSU will help you with a GPU upgrade later on. I suggest upping the wattage to 750w or higher if you can. Also you shouldn't need thermal paste, the cooler should come with it pre-applied or in the box. (Thermal paste isn't bad to have just in case, but every cooler comes with some so you don't need to buy it for initial builds)

 

Build looks great, I'm assuming you have a monitor/keyboard/mouse already?

 

Also make sure you pick up SATA cables if you're buying bare drives. Mine didn't come with any... :(

 

The Wifi card is up to you. If you're setting up near an Ethernet port, don't bother buying one.

Git Gud.
