Maybe ways to lower price and just advice/opinions on it before I spend all the money. Thanks.

Such an expensive gaming computer, and you play minecraft as your main game...[DOUBLEPOST=1460405244][/DOUBLEPOST]If you didn't spend $170 on a mouse and keyboard you could of got a second monitor...

and why do you have a wifi adapter? Wifi is really bad for gaming...

Spare the cooler as the CPU comes with it (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54690k) and get a smaller SSD and add a HDD instead are a few advice that I can advise you.

You'd want the HDD to store temporary and large contents as SSDs are not meant to withstand being put to their max capacity (they start losing performance at about ~70% or so of taken storage and the SSDs are degraded each time you delete excessive contents).

To mitigate such damages to the SSD you will rather want at least two volumes.

The SSD volume to contain the OS and anything that you plan on running "all the times". Such as your favorite games and 'must have" applications.
The HDD volume to contain the pictures, backups, documentations, logs and etc.

Haven't played minecraft since I resigned from magica and I can't run an Ethernet to my room. Not expensive at all actually. It's just what shit costs.[DOUBLEPOST=1460405479][/DOUBLEPOST]

You can buy a 100 ft Ethernet cord for like $30... Cheaper than your wifi adapter and will be better...

Can't you poke a hole in your basement floor and run the wire thru?

Thanks you for the updated information. You got a VERY nice case I may add as it can handle a good number of drives.

His case holds more drives than can be hooked up to his motherboard....

Extremely pointless...

Why you sound so salty? Anyway it's quiet, slick look, and is on sale.

Exactly.. Since it is a case anyways it can be re purposed later to use up the other drives' slots if he feel he need the extra devices in it.

Not salty.... My computer was a 6k build.

But just saying, you could buy better hardware with all of that money you are throwing out on a case, keyboard, and mouse...
A case which sits underneath your desk (especially a case which is better than your motherboard), which is barely visible, is kinda a poor investment, when you can upgrade something else, such as your motherboard.

Then make a build on that site that is similar but better than mine... I'm asking for opinions and advice, but show me instead of trying to explain.

There was your suggestion... You ignored it and got distracted with the wifi adapter I mentioned.

Those are the cheapest, good, mous and keyboard I found that looked decent. I don't want a second monitor either.

I'm still not convinced a 500GB SSD will fit all your needs. A 320GB or a 500GB HDD along with the SSD would suit you fine.

He adding HDD space externally as stated previously on this thread.
