Computer build, first time

[werty12]

So since its my first time, could you guys rate the parts, especially the hard drive, ssd, (ssd for speed, hd for memory), ram, and monitor. Should i buy separate speakers because generally built in speakers aren't that good, or is it not worth the extra money?

I would drop Windows 8 in favor of 7 unless you're comfortable with the new interface. Other than that, it looks like you built the typical gaming rig.
