just in case he needs it for other stuff. like i said, i'm building it for my father-in-law. So he may need it for work as well which uses graphic designing software also he will be using to watch videos. so this should cover all his needs without OC

Great build.One suggestion though,why don't you get hyper 212 evo cpu cooler and drop h55 as you say you would not oc it,so hyper 212 will fulfill your need. With that extra $30 you save,you could upgrade the cpu to A10-5800k

Personally I'd add a 7750 in there for the hybrid crossfire but meh you could always do that when the apu starts to become too weak.

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

You have to quote a post or else the person won't get a notification you responded to them.

 

Also, considering it's a general computing build, this will be more than enough and be snappier as well: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1i4RW

Thank, but I've already ordered the parts. Also I'm not a big fan of Intel. I've had many problems with them not only hardware wise but customer service as well.

Customer service...?

For what reason would you have to go to Intel for customer service?

I think you're supposed to contact the retailer and not Intel for those things.
