looks good, but I'd get a different set of ram and PSU. the blue and the red would be awful IMHO. PSU is overkill in terms of wattage, but not the best. Get sth from seasonic or xfx with 500-550W

Is this rig purely for gaming? If it is, then get an i5 6600k to compensate for  gtx 1080

Old PSU was alright, this is more expensive but is really good. also for some reason 650 was more expensive than 750

 

good overall tbh

[BlackApe]

well I will be replacing the red led strip form the case with an RGB strip but i was looking at a black and blue theme.

the R5 is a very good case and the cooler is good for overclocking if you want.
