How Is my build?

[Electrick]

How is my build? Will this mobo come with standoffs/screws? Is it overkill for bf4 dayz and other mainstream games? How long will it last? Thanks m8s this is my first post. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Kjx2zy

What is your budget?

[nanowatt]

The ram is too expensive and you don't need 16gb for gaming.Get a cheaper ram and get a 290x

[Jodomcfrodo]

$2000 and a 760? I got a 780Ti for $2000.

My budget is max 23 hundred and I want the 16 gigs for editing and photoshopping and rendering while gaming is it still too much?

[AlwaysFSX]

God that's overpriced.

Will you really be rendering AND gaming at the same time? I would recommend sticking with 8GB of ram for now and seeing how well that does for you. If you find you really need more ram, it's as easy as just plugging in some more.

Don't ever let anyone tell you that you have too much memory.

You should get a 970 instead of the 760

Hmm I wouldn't go with a Seagate drive since at least 20% of them fail within a year or two.

Thanks nerds (compliment btw) Time to start from the drawing board and see if I can do any better.
