I also changed the motherboard to something much less expensive as they both serve identical purpouses , just far cheaper and with less unneeded bells and whistles . I chose to give you a much better power supply also . The number one rule in PC building is DO NOT SKIMP ON A PSU . Mistakes like this can burn both PCs and ghouses down , or electrify every last thing , including data , in your rig system . The other one wasn ' t too bad , but the one I presented is an overall much better choice . With the savings made on the rig I opted foran SSD , as any SSD owner will agree that it will make your experience on the computer far better . IF you weren ' t aware , SSDs serve the same purpose as a hard drive but data is much easier to access , making boot times on the OS and games much quicker and making the OS run far smoother . I hope this has helped plenty , happy building !
