Need Advice for future build.

[LightTheHedgie]

So I am planning on building my first PC and I studied up on all these parts I looked at, but I just wants some assurance or advice. I really don't want to mess up my first build, especially since I'm going all out my first time around.

 

Here's the link to the rig (it's on PC part picker).

Thank you all so much.

for the love of god, don't use a CX series PSU, get a 750w EVGA Supernova

Find a way to put an SSD in there. Your system will feel sluggish without one.

You dont really need an i7 if you are going to just game on this pc.

Anyway i left the 4790k there, because i dont know what you are going to use this pc for.

Also you dont need 16gb of ram, 8 would be enough,

An i5 4690K would be more than enough for gaming. Your choice
