I would love to hear the commuitys thought on this. Any changes? I would like to keep it under $1,600.

- Change the GPU if you are wanting to OC.
- 16GB of RAM is good, but you don't need that much right now. Go with 2 x 4GB RAM.
- Get an SSD for your OS and important programs and use a 750GB HDD for games. This way your boot times would be extremely fast and it would keep the price low vs. buying a large SSD for it all.

Very good but my grand total is now $1,708 which is a little over my budget

Oooohhhh don't go with Seagate. They're notorious for sudden hard drive failure. Go with a Western Digital, either Blue or Black.

I just realized something. Why do you have an 850W PSU? You can go with a 650W and still be fine.

What's your final total with this PSU and HDD?
