Looks fine but why 16gb of ram 8 would be fine unless you really need 16 for other things other than gaming

Why not get 8 instead of 7?

Also, I recommend an 840 EVO over a MX 100. (Don't ask why. It's self explanatory.)

 

Budget, usage, and location?

8GB of RAM would probably do just fine, but i do some light editing, and it's at a decent price, plus it's kinda " future proof "

I prefer win 7 , and i have heard there are some slow down problems with the 840 evo's

the complete build is currently about $1500 USA, and i live in South Georgia USA, it's always hot here

usage - gaming and a tiny bit of photo and video editing

The bug that caused speed degradation has been patched with the EVOs.

I own one, and it's fantastic.

 

Also, Windows 8.1 offers performance boosts. 

For example, BF4 runs better on 8 than 7.

Yeah, i just read an article about the evo patch , sounds good, i'll probally just get the evo over the mx100, still not a fan of win 8.1 though

I don't think 7's worth buying as of now. With 10 just on it's release window, 7 is going to be 2 generations behind.

8.1 offers a significant amount of performance improvements and some really nice features. 

But it's your money.
