This is not only my first official build, but it is my first PC.

 

I was wondering if you guys, the LinusTechTips community could help me with my build, help me decide what in the computer I'm getting is worth the price, and if some of the parts may be replaceable with higher, or equal quality hardware; for a lower, or equal price.

 

Here is the list of PARTS:

SickleFlow 120mm Red LED Fan  - Fans
ARCTIC F12 Rev. 2 PWM Fan, 120mm - Fans

Please don't attack me about my "build" it's a first.

 

I'll be using the build for software like the whole Adobe CS6 Master Collection, Cinema 4D, Gaming, etc.
