Hello! This is my first build, and I was hoping you all (the experienced ones) could offer some helpful advice! Any advice or tweaks to my system will be greatly appreciated. BTW this build is centered around gaming and future proofing (hopefully at least xD) Also on those compatibility notes i got, those are a major issue right (i don't NEED usb 3.0)?

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

would go with this instead as this is more balanced and will let you take full advantage of your system

<p>Wish I could have this already!! : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qTLRjX

Yep, that particular Xeon is basically exactly the same in performance as an i7-4770 but it doesn't have integrated graphics, which are useless to you anyway.

What do you mean by full advantage, and wouldn't the HAF case have better cooling?

ssd and a good cpu cooler are better also yes and no the haf doesnt really look great and the NZXT case has pretty good airflow so i think its better thats all
