First Build Suggestions

[micah4espn]

This will be my first PC build, and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions before I order the parts. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/rF8xcc The only thing that is holding me back right now is waiting on the graphics card to come out. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5919#kf (Anybody heard anything about it?) I'm posting this now so that when it does come out again I can quickly get it before it goes out of stock. I'm pretty sure about everything in the build except for the mobo, but I'm all ears if you think another part would be better. I plan on playing mostly open world and multiplayer games, and no editing. I also will be overclocking. Thanks for the help.

Your PSU is overkill, everything else seemed fine. You might also want to get some lower clocked RAM. I doubt you will utilize that much speed. Look at the EVGA 650W G2, probably my go to PSU.

Hey!
 

I have the Asus Z170-A in my system and it's fantastic, especially for first-time builders! The motherboard brings a detailed guide on what you need to do to setup your computer so feel free to use that or watch a PC build guide on YouTube!

 

By the way, so jealous of your setup! Feel free to add me as a friend on here and send me a pic once it's done! Maybe we can play sometime!

There is nothing wrong with his psu. Its fine. Also, there are newer and better versions of that cooler. And they are less expensive. H115i or h100i v2

Platinum is too much. And 750W is too much. 650W Gold Rate is more than enough. I agree on your cooler suggestion though.

With that price tag. You can get better things like a ridicusly fast boot times with the M.2 SSD, good refresh rate(=more fast response time in games), better MOBO with wifi onboard, good cases (i like more the enthoo pro over the define S because better airflow= better temps. Why? just look the front plate, is just blocked. meahwhile enthoo luxe and pro is not.)

why you want Wcooled GPU? there's no significant gain of FPS between in a aircooled and Wcooled GPU (is just like max of ~15FPS and that not worth the 200$ more of spending.) better AIO cooler. and many more i can explain you all you want in this build.

i assumed you can afford more, because people that spend more than 2000$ in a pc. they more likely to have more to spend.

how can a platinum rating be to much? Its efficiency, not power... 

The money going towards the PSU can be spent on better parts of his PC.

And, 750 gives him the option to SLI in the future.

SLI is trash though.
