How is this build?

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
So this is what I have for my PC. Any suggestions or things I should change before I purchase it all?

I would go for a case with better airflow. It's your choice, but look for one with at least a front intake. Also, look around for a PSU that is at least bronze certified. Like this one:

Looks great, definitely go with a different PSU though, the one Legonut suggested would be fine, any XFX, Corsair PSU will be fine.

Looks like a very good build however i agree with Legonut on the case. IMO i'd go with a NZXT Phantom instead.
