With tax returns right around the corner, I'm finally going to make this build happen. I was going to build it a long time ago, but I was broke x( Since it's been about 2 months, is there anything that should be changed or updated? Or is this still a solid build? Thanks!

The build looks very solid. Great job on making it. I f you want to save a few bucks, you could stick with the stock cooler, but I doubt you'd want to. +1 for the Xeon :)

Don't be fooled by the bottom line of my sig, that is just for my travels.

So you're telling me that Gaben is no God? Enough of your foolishness.

My hardware you ask? I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3217 Notebook... With an LG 25UM57.

What is the PC going to be used for? Gaming solely? Editing?

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I plan on using it for pretty much anything you could possibly think of. I might want to stream a video game. I draw with my wacom tablet on photoshop (I need a monitor too) I'll probably edit videos at some point. And I want to play Fallout 4 without too much of fps drop, doesn't need to be on high graphics though. Any monitor recommendations are appreciated.

 

Right now I'm looking at this monitor:
