Hi, do you do any of your work at home?
Anyway, I think you can do better than that!
Your CPU is probably over-powered, also its on a dead socket so maybe you should avoid if you want to upgrade later?
The PSU is over-powered, you need no more than 600W as typical systems never use more than 300W.
The motherboard is over-specced from what I see.
So my suggestions are:
- Go for a Core i5 xxx CPU on an LGA 1156 motherboard OR an AMD CPU. The AMD CPU will give you better compatibility with the future and a cheaper motherboard.
- Go for a cheaper PSU which is still decent quality.
- Get a better quality case, an Antec Sonata with a 500W PSU would be perfect IMO.
If you want, I can spec out a cheaper AMD system.
Tease.
