Hey guys, just trying to get some talk going! If you're happy with your current build, or even disappointed, post it here and explain why! Talk about why your build is personal to you.

My Build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core $219.75
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $28.75
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 KILLER ATX LGA1150 $106.98
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 $65.99
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $51.88
Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 280X 3GB DirectCU II $229.99
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window (Black) ATX Mid Tower $114.99
Power Supply: XFX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V $99.99
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) $88.98

What really stands out to me for this build is the case. It's cheap, yet extremely organized inside. I could get the same type of case for $40 from Corsair, of course fan quality and size may differ, but for a first build I don't mind a little pur!

Hope to see your posts!
 
If the hard drive is your main drive, I would go with something other then a blue drive. Good drive for storage.
 
My build is in my sig. First one I ever built and I love it. Sits under my desk, nice and quiet, everyday. Plays whatever I want (although it needs and deserves some love on the GPU side).

For yours: Ditch the XFX PSU, and go with a Corsair CX600M, good reliable units, have one in my dad's rig

I agree the GPU could get a little upgrade, too bad a little upgrade could be $300 dollars #nothanks. If it does what you need don't even worry about it.
I'll take a look at the Corsair. I've heard nothing but good things about them :)
