Hardware Hub Build a PC

I plan on ordering my first computer later today and wanted to make sure I had not missed something.  Can some of you guys look over this to make sure I did this right?

i looked your build but i would change a few things.

in the first place, the ram, i would not buy 4x4 GB of ram.  Your cpu has dual channel support (can speak to 2 modules at the same time), that means 2x8GB sticks would be much more efficient. i would say look at G-skill sniper 2x8GB 1866mhz low voltage rams, its also cheaper then those 4x4 sticks. also if only gaming is your main goal, you would also be fine with 2x4GB ram.

Also i would change the PSU to a better one, like a 550/650W xfx,corsair, Lepa or seasonic.

 Further i would also change the GPU, a GTX660ti is an old gen card, i would say trow extra 10 dollars into it, and buy a Msi GTX760 TF or a Radeon 7950.

Angel, nice build, but look at the prices of the 7950..

You can buy a 7950 for 180 dollars. That is insane.

If your just gaming no reason to get 16GB Ram or a i7 but if your Video editing or something like that then it's fine.

yeah i just saw that, those prices droped insane  a 7950 is still a great card, performs better in most oc gaming benches as far as ive seen.

Msi 7950 TF is $259 atm on newegg its amazing. seems that the new Radeon HD9xxx series will not take long to come out.

so i did a little edit on the previous build.

Option 1: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1pT0z with 7950 TF

option  2: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1pS1k with Msi GTX760 TF.

Its depending on which games you play, and if physX are important to you..
