Hi everyone

 

I'm looking to build a new PC, I'm currently thinking about this build http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/tYN7yc

 

Just wondering if theres anything I change to improve it, but I want to keep it around the same price as it is now. I'm looking to overclock it aswell, so would I need a bigger power supply?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Good build but do you really need 16gb ram?

Your psu is fine you can even go with a bit cheaper model
