• Making a new build, thoughts?

I'm compiling together a parts list, and I just wanted a second, or third, or maybe even fourth opinion. How does it look? Anything redundant, are the parts compatible with each other, etc?

Looks good to me. I see no compatibility issues. The only thing I question (which is really just my opinion) is the case. It just seems a bit excessive to spend $180 for just the case. Here's some other options for quite a few pennies less: (I've built PCs with most of these cases, so I can personally vouch for their quality) HAF 912 - Good airflow/space/cable management for the price [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP3K30981[/url] NZXT S340 - Haven't used this one, but only hear good things about it [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146190[/url] Corsair Carbide 300R - Classy case, black interior, tool-less [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011[/url] Corsair Obsidian 350D - Classy but with a bit more snaz with the window [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139021[/url] NZXT Phantom - More of a showy case, TONS of room inside, great airflow [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146085[/url] Cooler Master 690 II - By far my favorite case, not as spacious as some, but great design.

You will be slightly better off quality wise if you go for the 1000$ build here. [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1505360[/url]
