 I'm going to OC my CPU to 3.7GHz and I think I'll be good to go. Please leave any negatives of this build :)

Also should I look into getting a SSD? If so what size? And yes I'll be using this for gaming, mainly Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.

Looks alright but it does need a SSD.

 

I recommend getting a decent 250GB one such as the Crucial MX300 or Samsung 850 EVO.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

yeah the only thing i could think of that it is missing is an ssd. your system is much faster if you have ssd boot drive and is basically a must in any of my builds.
