Hey guys, I finally worked up the courage to build a gaming rig of my own after years of wanting to do it. I have ordered the case and just want to make sure I won't run in to any issues with the build. Here's the list I'll be working through... https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ If you guys see anywhere lacking or over done, let me know. Thanks, glad to be here.

Welcome to the forum.

 

That is not the build link, you need to copy the perma link from the little box on the top left of the list. 

Different PCPartPickers for different countries:

UK-----Italy----Canada-----Spain-----Germany-----Austrailia-----New Zealand-----'Murica-----France-----India

You could change the GTX 960 for a R9 380 and make sure you get the 4gb model.
