Build check

[DaRealSlimShady]

Hey there I am about to build my own computer and if someone would be kind enough to check over it. If you change anything then try to keep it around $2800 please. It is a going to be use mostly for gaming but I want to use PhotoShop and Sony Vegas pro to. Any US shop will work. Link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/y7tVCJ

looks like a nice build!

 

you could save money in a few places, but overall great part choice!

what about the fractal design r5? i'd buy another case.

Yeah like Rheinwasser said, you can save some money in a few places but it looks really good

Shaved off a fair bit of cost, keeping the performance. 

 

I didn't include the DVD drive, wifi adapter or Windows because I would personally go for hard wire or powerline over wifi, I wouldn't use a DVD drive, but you may need one I don't know. And you can get Windows much cheaper through somewhere like G2A

Looks like a solid build

X99 would be a better choice and would cost the same (with a little tweaks).

I need the DVD drive because I have lots of DVD games and also I want to be able to watch my blue ray DVDs.
