Is the 75hz version of the monitor worth the extra money? A 60hz version is available for 100 dollars less. Anything else I should change? Here is my list: List

I mean, what parts are you going to get? I can guarantee you're overspending on at least one of them.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

It would be helpful of you stated what you plan to buy..

If I've missed where you said this I apologise.

First thing I can think of though as a general tip is many people I know buy overclockable parts such as motherboard and processor when they don't have the other parts required or just don't plan to do it.

It's also due note modular power supplies are generally more expensive when only really making a difference to aesthetic (and also a small difference to airflow if your case doesn't have much space to put the leftover cables
