i know the CPU fan will fit height wise but i'm not sure about length and width wise.

i know the LEDs will probably look dumb but i think i will like it.

Pretty nice build. One question. Are you gonna overclock or does the CPU not come with a heatsink included?

[HPWebcamAble]

I'd recommend an SSD, ideally 256 GB.

 

Other than that, looks pretty good.

I have no clue if that AMD chip includes the new cooler (too tired to do research) but if it does then use that. But if it is the old cooler use that.

Intel? R9 380? (Unless you wanna record, Nvidia Ftw)

If he is going to record he would really want a NVidia card because Shadowplay is lag free.

It doesn't. Outside of the APUs, the only AMD CPU that has the Wraith cooler is the 8370.

Well that's cool then.

Here's my suggestion. If you are doing 1080p, I can see an r9 380 being a better buy.

I have to disagree. i use OBS, and although it was a little slower, it was a lot more stable.

GeForce experience (how you launch Shadowplay) has always been trouble for me. Sometimes it flat-out refuses to even start. OBS is a lot more consistent and reliable. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but Shadowplay records in a weird file format.

I have used a NVidia card on a system. Shadowplay and OBS are the same stable. I can feel OBS chopping off a bit of the framerate, but with Shadowplay i felt nothing.

Plus i had Fraps running saying me FPS numbers.
