Planned Build! Advice?

[Spewky]

Hi,

 

I've been planning my build for months now and I really want to order the parts in the next 1-2 weeks and get this built! I'm really excited to get started and hopefully have a great build!

 

If you have any advice on what to change but still stay in my budget of the $1200 range (no more than $1290 or so) then please say how I can improve.

 

Here is my build (I'm a noob so I selected everything on my PCPartPicker...):

Thanks for the reply, problem is with that motherboard it supports crossfire but not SLI... So I think I'll be sticking with my mobo. AS for the CPU cooler, I was told to use the Nepton though it's a bit expensive. I'll look into the A-Data SSD though.

 

Thanks for the reply
