Answer 1

No bottleneck from the processor or graphics card, but to improve the load, read and write speeds of the operating system or other programs and games, you'll want to use a 7200rpm (or faster) primary drive. 5400rpm and 5900rpm hard drives are better suited for storage devices for music and videos.



16GB of memory is overkill and a waste of money for most apps. During gaming you'll use around 4GB max, and for trans-coding, rendering and animation 6GB to 8GB is plenty.



A locking sata cable doesn't always fit the sata ports on all motherboards, so you might need to remove the lock for it to fit, or buy a sata cable without the locks.



Also, if you've never bought an oem optical drive before, oem units will usually come in plain packaging (usually bubble wrap) with no box, no paper work, no cable and no cd with the burning tools you'll need to create cd's and dvd's. You'll need to buy a retail version of the drive if you need any of that.



Other than that, looks like a solid build. Nice job.

Answer 2

I consider Colby, my own computing gadget build is extremely resembling yours. i found my bottleneck to be the examine/write time to/from the stressful stress. i offered a 120GB SSD and now there is no bottleneck. placed abode windows on the SSD and video games. to save money you ought to use a 60GB in case you're able to desire to save money. Make the SSD the C: stress and your generic HDD secondary. only unplug the stressful stress and placed the OS on the SSD then plug in the HDD final. Boot time is approximately 13 seconds. I even have the comparable mobo and cpu as you with a Radeon 7870, i can play video games on extreme settings at 60 to 75fps.

Answer 3

Looks good, although I prefer amd, as Intel is way to expensive, but If that doesn't matter much to you, stick with intel.
