I would also like to know everyone's thoughts on the build and any general tips for a first build would be very appreciated.

I would change the board to an ASRock Z97 Extreme4 and swap the SSD to a Samsung EVO.

And that PSU absolutely has to go. Get this instead.

I understand the motherboard because I don't really know what to look for in a motherboard other then the obvious stuff like # of usbs and ect but why the PSU and SSD? I'm asking to add to my knowledge, not to question your knowledge. And if it's because of the high amount of wattage in the PSU, my reasoning for that was just for future upgrades sake and I plan on using dual monitors.

 

[PP Mguire]

The motherboard was because of the M.2 slot. The SSD because if you're spending the cash might as well get a better quality one. Both the MX100 and EVO are budget SSDs but the EVO is better quality, whether you go with the 840 EVO or 850 EVO.

The PSU, Raidmax makes junk. I would go as far as saying they paid somebody off to put that 80+ Gold cert sticker on the box. As per my thread, the #1 piece you want to put money into quality gear is the PSU.

Very good to know, thanks for that. How many extra fans do you reconmended to add to the 5 that come with the case? I'm nervous about the cooling.

 

[PP Mguire]

That's more than enough. At that rate, unless you absolutely need a full tower I'd reconsider. There really is no practical use in a full tower unless you're going with a full custom water cooling loop.

 

[Shayev13]

Good to know, the full tower is just so I know I have room to expand in the future or for any future upgrades I may wany do. I'll do some more research on it though.

 

[PP Mguire]

You can shove anything you would want in a mid tower. Just look at my rig and I have still have too much room.

Hmmm, I might just reconsider then. Thanks so much fo all the help and advice
