What resolution are you looking to be gaming on? 1080? 4K? This information will help the configuration gurus get to the best system for your needs.

Great Config.

I would up the GPU to a 1070.
Up the M.2 to 512
and give the lady some Bling [Internal lights to set it off]

Just my Advice for pretty much anything she could ask for


whatever you decide you will be pleased you chose
Digital Storm in the end.

Please post review pictures and video of her reaction if she doesn't mind.

Build looks good.

You could get the Vanquish level 3 for less money and still get the much stronger gtx 1070 for maxing anything out there with the Asus 1080p Monitor.    With Vanquish you won’t get the faster m.2 drive, but not really needed for most gamers that game and surf the web.      You would also have to plug in your own WiFi card or order the external WiFi USB dongle that DS has.

For the money, Vanquish is best bang for the buck, but your custom setup allows for more options, so up to you.

Build looks good I would go with 1070 as mentioned, Also look for your monitor and etc on amazon or newegg and make sure you are getting the best price.

If budget is an issue vanquish is less as bp mentioned, but budget is ok and you want the m.2 drive then change to 1070 and go with yours.

Also change your psu to the fully modular one.

IMHO you are making a mistake not ocing, ocing helps lots, it is very easy to do with these cpus. Just think about it at least. fyi for oc I would go like this:

Think about ocing and the other stuff bp mentioned

Can’t go wrong with most selections, so congrats.    I would get the better psu as DST mentions.    A better supply, more efficient and longer warranty. Don’t want to save money with the psu.
