Need feedback about my future PC

ImMrHappa · January 25, 2015

Background story: I HAVE JOINED THE MASTER RACE!!! I am a 20 year old kid (I don't think i'm a true man until i'm 21) who just sold a Xbox one. I have been doing alot of research on how to build a pc but i would like to get some feedback a see what other people think about my build.

What I plan on doing with this PC:

- Play games such as Arma 3, LoL, Eve online, Maplestory, and Steam games (Hell no i'm not listing all of them....)

- Streaming and Recording (In the future)

- Skypeing (All the time)

Spend wisely. Most of the parts you chose were overly expensive. See what you can save when you spend wisely?

not bad but i think i may be able to improve a little

It is improved, it costs $200 less but has suffered no performance loss. He could even get two of those SSD's and put them in RAID 0 and it would still cost less.
