From looking over it:

- If you're going to use it for editing/rendering/VMs etc., you should probably go i7/Xeon instead of i5.
- If you're not, 16 GB is overkill and wasted 50$ for no performance gain
- Mainboard = wasted 50$ for no performance gain
- PSU is oversized and wasted another 50$ for no difference
- CPU cooler is worse than most decent air coolers and will be loud as hell (assuming you want to use the k-CPU to its full potential)

I'll be seeing you @ Caprice nightclub this Friday Riel, is what im thinking :)

Poor choice of motherboard within that price range
Poor choice of PSU within that price range.. could've got the godly superflower PSU with evga's support & 10yr warranty for cheaper.
overpriced optical drive that's rarely used nowadays
could've been fine with a caviar blue, and got a 256SSD instead
but nice black & red

Why do people always say 16gb is overkill... I put 8gb in a second gaming rig and a few games are creeping up on 6.5gb and I only have a few apps open in the background.

Hell even with my main rig with 16gb without any games open I'm using 4.06gb.

Same. Got FF open with 1.2gb ram used, although I have 4 instances open with a total of almost 70 tabs.

I never close shit because I hate bookmarking shit.
