Upcoming Gaming Build

[ddbtkd456]

Alright it is getting very close to the time when I will start saving for this sucker. This is my fiances computer so purple when on, gold when off, thats how she wants it.

 

Uses:

1. Gaming (Large games like Sims 3 & 4, Skyrim, Probably Minecraft, Tomb Raider)
2. Schooling (Daily Activities)
3. Music/Videos
4. Browsing The Internet

She wants to keep as many things wireless as possible (I know, please don't say "No wireless things"). What do you think of the build? It has to run smoothly as I don't want to get things and have to delay it.

 

Note:

I am already about 200 dollars over what I would like to be. I would like to be around the $2,000 dollar mark.

I like it.

Lower the PSU to 750 though, it's more than enough.

 

Would say don't get XFX but you're buying for the color, not the best cooling/P2P

Yea, that's what I was actually wondering. The graphics card would need to be a XFX for the lighting theme. I would but the custom cables that EVGA has don't fit the 750W I believe. I can double check tho.

Looks good to me   

if you're not playing too many games drop down to a 290 and you can probably fine cheaper memory too.

Updated, with suggestions. Thanks. Any others are welcome as well.
