Thoughts on my First Build

[jloynaz]

Hey everyone!

 

I have two screenshots below, one showing all the parts I'll be using and the other of the case. If you guys have any suggestions or advice, I would appreciate it. I'm trying to keep my budget under $800. The screenshot doesn't show but the total is $700 with rebates. I do plan on upgrading if necessary in the future. I'll also be buying a 27" Samsung LED monitor for $220.

 

Let me know what you guys think!
