This will be for ultra 1080p FPS games

 

Is it a good build....or naw

Holy shit, that's everything except a surge protector.  (And maybe second HDD for a backup.)

 

That's going to be a great afternoon and a big smile on delivery day.

Precisely $100 less! For the peripherals: Logitech G502 because it's optical and reviews are rather positive. Kingston HyperX Cloud in black and white, because they also have rave reviews. Ducky Cherry MX Brown Keyboard because it's nice and cheap, relative to other brands using CMX Browns. For the monitor, I chose something using the same specs but cheaper. For the PC spec changes, I changed the case to the N600 Windowed because that case was basically meant for the Seidon 240m. Stick it in the right panel, use the extra 3 fans I added in the front and roof. Changed the RAM for something a bit more fitting colour wise and also cheaper, the same for the GPU. Changed the SSD for something cheaper but not a slacker by any means.

Decent build. A few suggestions though :) .

 

EVGA 220-G2-0750-XR is a much better psu and well worth the added cost.

 

The motherboard has on-board Internet gigabyte LAN so the NIC is not required.

 

The case includes two fans. The Seidon 240M adds two more. There should be no need for additional fans. (They can always be added later on if needed.)

 

For a gaming or general use build the additional performance of the 840 Pro ssd will not be noticeable. Something like Crucial CT128MX100SSD1 will provide quite good performance at a lower cost.

 

It is a matter of personal taste. To me G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory or G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory would look better.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

My new build  :D

The only reason i didn't change my peripherals is because mine were cheaper and come from a more reliable brand, lel.

Thank you all.
