So after tweaking and updating some parts.. I've come to this PC build. I'll also be getting a 1440p monitor and will be using this PC for gaming and programing..

If you think it needs some slight upgrade feel free to tell.

Please go get S340 ELITE ... not normal one.

Normal one have some bad plexi as a window and will scratch easily. S340 elite looks much better with tempered glass and should be just like 20$ difference.

And for another 24$ investment I would change SSD to samsung evo 850 250gb.
