Get an 840 EVO/PRO 850 PRO instead 

and you can get a GTX 770.

Now... do you never post again, or post another 11k times?

 

My only suggestion would be to look at EVGA for your 760. I've been incredibly unhappy with ASUS support in replacing my GPU. I will pick a higher price point with better customer service every time, EVGA are usually fairly close to all other cards, however, if not cheaper.

Definitely stay away from ssd now, the manufacturing is different from initial release and it would a surprise if you got half the rated speeds on that drive.

Get EVGA SuperNOVA 650G1 650W it better! gold and platinum will help you from running electrical bill through the roof! 

 

Never bronze

$30 more and a hell of a lot more performance.

I contacted Kingston and they stated the speeds should be the same in a certain program that they use for benching. They said the fact they changed the controller shouldn't have changed their performance. In real world performance such as boot times and such.

That is not what a whole bunch of reviews on amazon says, I mean I understand that amazon reviews are not the most reliable thing in the world but those reviews are pretty damning

Hi LeeoS!

 

The motherboard and CPU look good, it's ok you've already bought them.

Overall, your build's parts are all compatible, which is great, no issues.

The PSU might be a little overkill, bit I suppose if you plan on upgrading, you'll need the additional power supply from up front. Otherwise, you'll be fine with 500W.

In my opinion, you could upgrade the GPU a bit, depending on what kind of games you'd want to play, but nowadays 4GB for a video card is quite decent.

About the storage devices, it's really a choice of taste. If you plan on getting the SSD, you'll need to install your OS and to load all of your programs/games from there and use the HDD simply for storage. In this case, the WD Blue is great as a HDD choice, as it's design is for an everyday storage.

In the case you'd want to load programs also from the HDD, or use only a HDD without a SSD, I'd recommend you the WD Black hard drive. That's a maximum performance hard drive for gaming and more demanding applications, up to 4TB of capacity and 7200 RPM.

And if you decide to get a SSD and could afford it, you could think about 256GB.

I hope I've helped!

Cheers!
