Did you even read the guide I wrote? I think the only thing I would approve of would be the CPU..

yes i did actually, bout 3-4 months ago i kept messaging you trying to set up my first build. we got it set up couple times. then when i went to order i just went higher on couple things. i actually was worried about the sound card i heard some ppl tend to have issues with this card and a board with nvidia chipset. but mine seems to run smooth and i dont have any of the cracking or poping sounds ppl said they had. my system could have some dumb luck to have it work like it did im not sure lol. but so far so good and seems stable so im happy!!

The things you went higher on are useless. The PSU is off-brand, the Xtremegamer is the same as the Fatality and cheaper, the 7xx chipset is pretty bad, and you never spent any more money toward a better graphics card, which is the one thing you should have spent the most on! Also, I assume you really don't need another ethernet card as your motherboard has one onboard.

Learning experience I guess, but really you could have at least asked me, would have saved you a lot of money and got a lot more performance for your money.
