How is this setup for a new build?

Squatchin

So I put this together today for a new build im working on for myself.

Anything you all can provide as far as tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Knowing your goals and budget would help.

Quizzical

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do there.

Very, very few people have any plausible need for a $330 motherboard or a 1200 W power supply.

I have no clue why you're looking to pay $200 for a Windows license when you can readily get the license for $140 or so elsewhere--or $100 if you don't need the Professional edition, which most people won't.

Getting two mid-range video cards rather than one high end card is a bad idea if gaming is your intended use.

On that kind of budget, I'd want more SSD space.  There are a lot of easy places to cut back in the budget to make room.

Based on your selections, you don't seem to be too concerned about money. Your choices are generally solid and some (case, SLI vs. single card, etc.) come down to personal preference.

I built one recently myself using some parts from my old system and some new parts. You can see photos of my finished build and the details here: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/391006/page/2

My only comments are that your MB seems to be unnecessarily pricey - I went with the MSI Z87 GD-65 myself which has outstanding reviews and I can personally tell you OC's great...it's currently going for  ~ $160  at Newegg which is half what you'll pay for the one you picked.

I'm also not a big dual/triple gpu fan. I'd rather go with a single Raedon 290 than the dual 760s you picked. In games that do support SLI properly, you'll see a slight advantage over the 290... but that's the issue. I've had so many extra headaches, especially in MMOs, trying to get SLI/Xfire to work properly that I've come to believe that it's more hassle than it's worth... your mileage may vary.

I find your SSD choice to be on the small side, personally I would use some of the money to get a second 256 GB SSD for games. The 128 for the OS is adequate.

You're going for a 1TB HD. I went with 2TB. Great performance with good HDs - such as what you will get with the Velociraptor - used to be important to me. Now that I use SSDs as much as possible I don't sweat it...shrug. Reliability is more important to me now. I went with a 2TB Seagate for mine.

Your PSU selection is pretty good. I would go with the Seasonic-built, Corsair AX 850 myself, but your plextronics-built one is a good choice also.

Like you, I also wanted a full-size case. I actually spent more time selecting that than anything else. i ended up going with a Coolermaster Storm Stryker and I'm very happy with its looks, organization and the performance of fans and all case connectors. Can't say I've used the hot-swappable top-front SSD SATA3 port yet, but it's a nice feature to have too. But this one is the most personal part of the build... whatver you're happy with.

If your going single card you won't need the 850w power supply. Just get a 650w. Hell even a good 550w would work, but as prices are simmilar might as well get 650w.
