Suggestions on my build please!

[Zetsu]

Hey, I'm new to PC Building and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on my chosen parts. My budget is currently $1200 USD, and it'll be for gaming.

Looks good, I would drop the H55 and get a 212 Evo then and wait for the cash for a h100i GTX

This. Otherwise, no sins are being committed.

are you sure you need 16gb of ram

I'd say that 16GB RAM is necessary if you're doing anything more than gaming + basic tasks. I find that 16GB isn't enough in a lot of cases and I don't even do anything like virtualization...

I would if you have the money get the h100i gt instead of the h55. Or look into the nzxt krakens

I would stick with 16 gigs of RAM now-a-days for gaming needs. I almost burn through my 8. 4GB is almost always used,

How do you use more than 16GB?? I game+do other stuff and it never goes over 9GB..

On behalf of the PSU people, we thank you for using a proper PSU. Thank you and good day sir.

Why such a small AiO cooler for such a big case?

Get a 2TB drive you will need it as games keep getting bigger. I only have 400GB on my 2TB left.

Well I can't use more than 16GB because I don't have more than 16GB.

I used to have 24GB before I lost the ability to use a third of it, here's my current ram usage:

 

I have tons of programs plus 148 Chrome tabs open. I like having tons of Chrome tabs and they're probably the main reason for my insane RAM usage. Plus more than 7 days uptime.

RIP.. Seriously, dude, why can't you be like any normal person and just open tabs when you need them then close them when you don't??

EDIT- I have 2 tabs open right now. I have lots of bookmarks though.

Everyone, Thanks a ton for your feedback! I will go for the h100i if that is what you recomend, and I also usually have a ton of Chrome tabs open at once, so i felt that 16 gigs of ram was a must.

Will do! But am i able to just put multiple 1tb drives in? or does my motherboard have a set capacity.

Here's the final build I guess http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VbYKrH

 

I will probably have it done and everything by January 1st. I'll put it up in the completed build thread when I'm done Thank you all for your help!

Usually a single drive is better. You are limited to the number of sata ports on your mother board and power connectors from the power supply.
