Good but not the greatest. EVGA G2 is the same price and better. Are you open to suggestions on the build?

Evga has better capacitors and better build quality in general and 2x4 Ram is faster than 1x8.

I was going to get another stick of hyper x ram later on, and dual channel doesnt affect gaming that much from the benchmarks ive seen. Also i will go with that psu then
