@King this is a pretty solid setup there is not to much i can point out with this build the PSU will probably be your future upgrade other then that looks pretty solid

It was a last minute decision to snatch that PSU got it on Cyber-Monday for $50. Glad it checks out, was a little worried that the motherboard would have trouble fitting in the case.

Others will chime in soon

The PSU is atleast 80 certified that will be enough for now but if you do more intense things like overclocking it will need to be stepped up

The case and board might be a little snug but you can make it work

kingofblob,
Looks like you have a great rig coming together. I think you should be ok with that EVGA psu and also the mobo will fix with ease in the 650d case. You may want to take some time and consider some optional items like braided cable extensions as well as led or premium fans for noise or high air volumes, also case lighting as you have a nice side window. I've linked some idea's for your consideration.

Instead of a 3TB and a 1TB HDD, I would grab one of the Seagate HDD.15 4TB HDD. On sale you can get them for about $140-150.

I'd do what kbrady1979 suggested, you save more .

Multiple drives could be the OP's intention to have redundancy safeguard ?

Then I'd still get a 4TB drive over the 3TB drive. On sale the price is just right!

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Are 4tb drives proven? I wondered that very thing when opting for my 3tb drive?

Right on! the 1tb will hold all of my games/programs. While the 3tb will hold all of my recordings. But I have considered a 4tb and still am.

Good to have a plan. Me I'm a drive whore and I mean that, 12 drives and countless usb, micro and std. sd cards as well as some CF's plus for mobile I have at least (4) 1tb usb drives. Most are 1tb with (2) 2tb and (1) 3tb spinners.

Gee Alan after seeing how many drives you have i am sitting here sort of naked

 

[linnemeyerhere]

That's for just one of three desk tops and still have three more lappies.....I'm sick and need help !

 

[kbrady1979]

I have ordered 3 of the HDD.15 4TB drives and all 3 have passed rigorous long/short read/write tests and have performed flawlessly since. They make great storage drives.

I would not touch a 4TB drive with a 10 foot pole. Multiple drives is the way to go. And a couple of SSDs - at least 1 for the OS.
