    Are you planning on playing new, graphics-heavy games on Windows? Using CAD software? Rendering movie-length videos in HD? Compiling browsers from source? If it isn’t one or more of these, the build is probably overkill.

      I am playing to make some HD videos (not movie length though). Also, I might end up compiling some browsers from source (I am interesting in developing a web browser).

        You should ask in a bigger forum somewhere where people really have experience with building computers. They have proper builds that are tested etc :)

        Well, then it seems like a reasonable build to me, although I’m not very knowledgeable about well-performing, higher-end computers. As mentioned by sexy_peach, the graphics card is a bit on the expensive side.
