Yes overall it is a very good build. I would recommend a different HDD tho. It is a "green" drive. So it runs a 5400 RPM, pretty slow. Just spend the extra 5-10 dollars and Get a 7200RPM drive. For the GFX card I would recommend getting a 6870 instead of the 550 Ti. Also you definitely do not need 800 watts. Very good build. Much better than most of the people that post on here.

+ if there is a Microcenter around you the 2500k is 179.99 and you get 50 Dollars off a MOBO.

At most maybe 650. I have a 6950, 2600k etc. have a 750 Watt(just because it was a good deal LOL)

When playing MW3 at max it just pulls around 500. Just get around 600-650 just in case you upgrade.

Also no problem. Love helping people in the PC section.

Also, forgot to mention this.
I would much rather have this Motherboard, it is also cheaper.
