Advice on First and New build

I was wanting anyone's opinion this build, this build will be used for gaming like Aion online and Multimedia like Adobe after effects, what do you guys think? This is a budget build for school and minor gaming keep in mind. Any Suggestions??

750W seems a bit much, im no expert (do research) but i have 3 HDDs 4 big fans, lights, graphics card and sound card all on 450W. id also like to recommend 2 PC builders

PCSPECIALIST.CO.UK - Custom PCs, Custom Computers, Custom PC, Desktop PC, Custom Built Computers, Gaming PC
: : : CyberPower PC UK : : : (they do over clocking)

useless if your not in the uk.

yeah the reason Im getting this cheap psu from geeks cause i have a psu i bought there for like nothing (500w) extremely cheap, and it works i trust the 33 dollar power supply cause of what geeks do to get there items, but yeah I was planning to over clock the CPU cause i heard it over clocks well with this motherboard

3 things pop out.

#1, open box + BIOSTAR board = mehh , motherboard is not really the place to cheap out on a new build, I'd go for an ASUS or GIGABYTE here.

#2, 750W seems like a lot for a build like this, I'd go for something in the 550W/600W range (Corsair, Antec, etc).

#3, 8GB ram, 100% overkill, 4GB should be plenty.

On RAM it depends what games you play. If you play any of the new, RAM hungry games, 8GB would be better. Otherwise go with 4GB.

Well people are saying a lot about the motherboard whats a good mother bored from the 70-120 dollar range? Cause I'm tight on money for senior year of high school pictures gown etc =/

Might want to peruse this thread. It's about a cheapo power supply that blew and took out the mobo, CPU and most likely RAM and video.
Recommended PSU - Please Help

If it's worth risking to you, go for it. Personally, I ensure quality cases and power supplies.

Yeah ill go with that ill find a power supply on new egg thats reliable i dont feel like replacing a whole computer or a house for that matter if it decided to burn the house or something =/
