Built mostly for gaming. Going for a blue/black theme while not sacrificing performance. Setup mostly gear towards overclocking~

Went for SSD>HDD. As i would mostly install my OS,Steam and Dota 2 for the time being. Before adding a HDD WB black in the future

 

3rd thread in 3 days cause my APU build and G3258 build just fell flat.

 

Any suggestion on upgrading/downgrading or parts due to better performance/lower cost?

@Aymanhero Pretty good already you could always go for a s340 if you want to.

 

edit: you could also swap out the asrock board with an MSI one like a z97s or a z97 pc mate. The blues on the Asrock board look weird. The one's on msi look more appealing IMO

Do you know whether they would be any major difference between Asrock extreme z97 extreme 4 vs msi z97 pcmate vs msi z97 guard pro vs msi z97s SLI Plus.

 

Cause my friends recommend an Asrock board for better quality i guess and that the pcmate sounds bad

yes the pc mate is just a budget board without sli configs. But in my experience asrock boards easily die, this is why I limit my options to asus and msi(I just hate the gigabyte colors) If you want a board that's similar in features to the asrock extreme 4 go for the SLI plus.

 

I would recommend you to get a board from their gaming lineup since they're really good. But the color scheme is red so I suggest going for the SLI plus
