Please check out my gaming rig build. Thanks!

[Rallaster]

First of all I want to think anyone for the information in this area of the thread! I have been with out a gaming rig for about 2 and half years now. So I had to relearn a few things with the new hardware sets. So here is what I'm looking for my build. Tell me what you think and what you would change? If anything!

Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146072

Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131837

CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116504

RAM (8Gigs for now) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233144

Video Card (Comes with Assassins Creed 3 for free) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500269

Storage (HDD) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147189

With a grand total of $1,008.63 SHIPPED to me.

Any and all thoughts are welcome guys! The only area where I still feel that I'm a little rusty is the video card and maybe the MOBO. Advice on them would be great! I will be ordering this I hope by the end of next week!

you might want to switch the ssd to either a samsung 830 or 840 pro version (or vertex4/crucial m4) the standard 840 from samsung is a worse version compared to it's predicessor.
also you 100% you won't do any overclocking? (since a good budget cooler is only 20-30$)
rest seems fine.
in regards to mobo you could take the extreme4 to save some money, gpu : zotac is a small but very good brand with custom gpu's (very good cooling and high factory overclock)

Thanks for the reply! I do plan to OC just not right away. I figured I give it a few months to test the hardware then I will OC.

Also could you link me the MOBO and SSD's that your taking about? That would be super helpful! Thanks a lot!

Oh and before I forget...What Power Supply would you all use with this setup? I forgot the add that! CD-ROM drives and what not I have laying around.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148442 (crucial M4, allot slower writes compared to other ssd's but highly reliable)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233395 (sandforce controller does not appeal to everyone due to reliability issues from the past)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ng%20840%20pro (good version of ssd from your OP, 830 only laptop versions left)
edit: another new SSD which seems like another top of the line http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227915

You should pick up a HDD with your SSD, the 120gb doesn't go far and 250 will last a bit longer you still will probably need a decent size storage drive. I've used up around 700gb all together on my computer, and I use the extra 1.4TB for recording game footage.

I will buy a better heat sink later is the year and I have another data drive already.
