Hey guys, I'm planning a build really soon and I wanted some final feed back.

And I also wanted some help picking out a name.

Thanks

Good on board audio, and very good overall proformance.

The timings on the ram are very low.

Get the 840 non pro instead of the pro

This^ The difference in speed is negligible/unnoticeable and the price gap is quite apparent.

Any ram with speeds above 1600 won't benefit anything outside of heavy rendering and APU's. Just get the cheapest CL9 1600 ram and you'll be fine.

The motherboard you chose is great and has good onboard audio but there are much cheaper solutions that do the job just as well such as the G45 Gaming. 

Psu is overkill. A decent 500-600w will be enough for any single gpu setup.

No need for a caviar black when you already have an ssd. A caviar blue/seagate barracuda will do and save you some money.

 

What's the build going to be used for? Budget?
