Hey guys, I was wondering if you could check my parts list and see if everything is compatible, and works well. I am open to any suggestions. I will mainly be using it for gaming, but I will also be working with some video editing and live streaming. This is also the first time I have built a desktop, so I'm not to sure with instillation. Thank you for your time.:good:

I'm a member of many computer forums and have seen a lot of people with Samsung SSD drives and I also see a lot of people having issues with those drives. I even recall a thread where Samsung was having trouble with their new Evo.

I would get an Intel or Adata, not as fast as the Samsung, but you most likely wouldn't notice. I also would get a good platter HDD. 1 TB should do.

Here you go. Never seen so many fixes and crap before on a SSD. I have an older 128 Adata SSD and an older 64 GB G.Skill Sniper and both run flawless.
