So, this is my first build. I've off and on researched the parts, and I may or may not have shot a high on several of these, but this is my first build and I'd like it to last me for a while without having to upgrade/change anything. I'm definitely open to change on pretty much anything. Also, I don't plan on overclocking in the foreseeable future. I think the power supply is right, but I'm not positive.
