Looks like it's running.
Thumbs up.
Benchmarks can rate your PC. I would start with Windows Experience Index scores and look for other benchmark programs after that. Just remember though, benchmarks are not the defining measure of a PCs performance in all situations. It can only give you a relative idea of how one setup performs when compared to another in that specific benchmark. In other words, a higher rating in a benchmark will not guarantee a higher FPS in a game than someone else, especially if the game is optimized for their video card's brand.
Or were you just wanting to brag about how much you spent on that? I stopped caring about who has the best system years ago. If I can play my games at a good framerate and acceptable detail settings for a lot less money than you spent, I will be happy.
You should be sarcastic more often
Quiz made a funny, this made me chuckle.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I asked. So many fancy parts, and then you go cheap on the case and power supply.
I'm guessing that you mean 1600 MHz Kingston HyperX, in which case, the memory should be fine. If you find something trying to pretend to be Kingston, I'd worry.
The case only comes with one fan, which would be problematic for a high powered gaming rig. But if you added a couple more fans to get adequate airflow, it should be fine.
But the power supply is the real concern. LC tells consumers that it's a 650 W power supply. But they told Ecos Consulting that it's actually only 600 W, presumably because it wouldn't have passed certification at 650 W. That's a huge red flag right there, and I'd worry that the power supply is a piece of junk and a danger to your system. It might be all right, but how much do you want to risk frying everything else?
1. id listen to Quiz, their brilliant with this kinda thing.
2. the SSD is a great idea, but ive found my own to be a tad small for the gaming and software i use. so i suggest you only put the games and software that you absolutely *must* have running at top speed on the SSD and then create a /Programs folder on your secondary drive and put your less necessary or less used games and software on that one.

What is critical is the quality, not the nominal wattage. A high quality 650 W power supply would be plenty good enough for that system. The problem is that that isn't a high quality 650 W power supply--on either count, as it is neither high quality nor 650 W.
has 3 years warranty

You shouldn't use an i7 CPU for a gaming rig. The only reason to have any i7 chip is if you're doing video editing or audio encoding.
The i7 costs more because it uses multi-threading. There really aren't many games at all that take advantage of multithreading, so you won't notice any advantage to having an i7. Benchmarks with gaming shows that an i7 actually slows you down.

Warranties on a power supply don't mean that much. If a bad power supply fries your entire system, the warranty will only cover the power supply, not everything else it fried. And even then, if a bad power supply just fried your system, would you really want another identical one to fry your next system?
If you got a prebuilt computer and a 3 year warranty on the whole thing, you may want to look carefully at the details, as those are often a lot less useful than you might think.
What does that 3 year warranty cover? And also if something do break the based on the company the RMA process can be a bitch, you might even end up paying for shipping the parts to them hehe.
You should upgrade your powersupply to a higher quality one.

so which CPU do you recommand me?
