First DIY Build

[Vape]

I'm no expert, but I do have some experience in this field imo.

Anyways, one thing, from personal experience, change your powersupply, I had a thermaltake TR-2 750 W Modular PSU die on me two days after buying it, also from what i've heard from others, they've had similarly bad experiences.

My recommendation would be a Corsair Builder Series or Seasonic PSU (if you have the budget, their X series is awesome, I own one)

On the case, grab a different one without a window, they're bad for ventilation from what I understand. I'd suggest the BitFenix MercAlpha personally, it has room for up to 8 120mm fans, 7 expansion slots and is about $50 USD iirc. Of course, this is personal preference.



Good call on the Optical drive, I myself own an asus drive and it works great
Also, Antec for everything is good

EDIT1: Question, why is there a second Optical drive?
