A Brand New Build! Need Help Please!

[Sora]

What do you mean looks like crap? Even me who likes LED lights and stuff when i made a budget build like the look of the Corsair. It may not have LED's but oh well the PSU is like usually one thing you don't see anyway and the 520HX is an amazing PSU.

i would say get a seagte too usually slightly cheaper. and better name . also and standard gtx will do. o/c is easy on g cards u can reach more than factory o/c in a couple of hours. also with the ram get sum gskill 2gb set.
