this is what i got so far any other suggestions? and i'm not planning on using a mechanical hard drive, for me speed is a must because i don't want to wait for my games or for windows to load finally. my OS is going to be Win 8.1 PRO

 

many thanks,

Briarios

yeah vga = gpu and maybe if you're just gaming, an i5 is sufficient for the task :D

p.s get a 600w-650w range psu a 500w is not really enough for it
