Is this build alright?

Go to solution Solved by ImBleu,

Ah alright, some good money to spare! Thanks!  :D

 

You can also switch from the HyperX Beast Ram to something a bit cheaper, like the HyperX Fury ram, which will save you quite a bit. Expensive ram has basically no benefits over cheap ram and it'd work just as well, could probably use the cash from the Sound card & cheaper ram to go towards either 16GB Ram or Upgrading your Case/Power Supply/Cooler etc.

 

I'd also recommend the NZXT Noctis 450 or NZXT H440 if you're interested in some other cheaper cases :)

Just wanted to ask before i buy it! :-) Open to recommendations! :)

Maaaaaybe I would go with more Watts on the psu, just for future upgrades, other than that... I see everything excellent ;) I would add an 1~3Tb 7200rpm HDD and double the ram, but I mean, is something you can upgrade in the future so only watts I would upgrade right now. Good Luck!

I'm from Spain so English is not my main language but I'm trying to make my best not writing any typo.

Thanks a lot for the quick answers! :-) I'll up the power supply and the hdd for now! :D

 

You can very easily drop the sound card. It'd work perfectly fine off the ROG Ranger which has a built in sound card :)

Seems like a good idea! Thanks for the advice, I'll be upgrading the ram to 16 gigs with less mhz :-D! Might also get NZXT Noctis 450 instead!
