is this a good build

Go to solution Solved by Shura,

The Power supply and Ram seem a bit over kill, Ram makes sense if you are doing professional rendering and so forth. If you plan to cross fire in the future than power supply might make sense but if you don't fall into the above categories then I think the extra RAM and WATTs is a waste and unnecessary. Other than that, it looks like a solid build. 

 

Super towers are not as popular as they were in 2011 but that's an aesthetics thing so whatever suits your taste I guess.

It would be, if it had an optical drive. :P

 

Do you need Windows 10 Pro?

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special-_-
