Rate My PC Build

[Scarymonkeys]

Hello!

So, I recently acquired a new keyboard/headset, and it gave me the idea to post my PC build/peripherals and ask other forum members what they thought of my setup, what they would rate it, what they would improve, and what they thought as a price/performance ratio. So, without further a due, what do you guys think of it? Specs are as followed. Keep in mind that I bought these parts on Black Friday of 2014 (I bought the GPU on my birthday, recieved the keyboard, mouse, and headset as a gift, but everything else I bought on Black Friday of 2014.), so prices may have been different from now! Also keep in mind that I already own this.

First of all, thank you for the suggestions!

I really wish I could have gone with an R9 380; however, it wasn't out at the time, and with AMD not performing well under Linux, it sadly wasn't much of an option. I really wish I could have gone with that though.

SSD would be pretty nice. Thanks!

Thanks for the rating haha.

Haha, I actually kind of like Linux. It's improving every day, and hopefully, Vulkan will improve performance quite a bit. I guess it's all down to personal preference though.

Thanks for the suggestions!
