Pretty overkill for a Gaming PC.

Thanks! I might wait for the GTX 1070, or get a GTX 980 Ti when that comes out. I have looked at the Fury and 390X, but their memory speed and processing power is not quite up to scratch compared to Nvidia

Change out the PSU - EVGA's NEX series aren't good. Get something from their B2, G2, GQ, GS or P2 lineups.

 

With all that extra money spent on the motherboard and case, a GTX 980Ti is pretty affordable for you.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

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

I meant for the use case, ie. overkill for standard 1080p gaming purposes.

Do you have any other uses than gaming? What's your monitor resolution?

That psu is pretty average. Also why 1 x 16GB Ram ? Better to go with 2 x 8GB.

PSU is above the average and a single 16gb ram would allow for future upgrades up to 64gb

Why would you settle for an average psu when you have the budget for a better one ? 

 

Why would you need room for 64GB Ram ? This is a gaming pc not a workstation.

Thanks! I'd also rather the higher speed and more cores in the i7. also, this is my first build, so I want some room to work in. I also want to upgrade to maybe 1070 sli in the future. This will also be for youtube video editing and screen recording like obs or fraps.

Then take my build and switch to an i7-6700. You don't get more cores, slightly just higher speed and HyperThreading.

I budget allows that than spend on other parts that improves performance like gpu or cpu you don't need to spend a lot on a psu just a average psu with nice review and ratings would be perfect 

 

And if budget allows you , than spend few dollars more and have way better future upgrade ability , so why not go for it (single ram) also see his (iPC) second last  reply  in video editing software like premier pro or after effects can normally consume up to 16 to 32 gigs sometimes so it would be better to have single 16GB ram

The psu is the single most important component in a pc, so why would you skimp on that ? He mentions that he wants to overclock, so a solid power supply is even more important. You can get the EVGA GQ 650W for $10 less, and it is a much better unit.

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438059&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

Or a bit more gets you the EVGA P2 650W.

If he is doing casual editing he still won't need more than 32GB Ram. Going with 2 x 8GB would still allow for another 16GB (2 x 8GB) later on.
