Just wondering if you guys though this was a good build or if you have a way of improving it please tell me. I am trying to stay on a budget of around $1500 dllsso just keep that in mind. Also, if there is something wrong with this build can you just comment polity and tell me whats wrong with it.

Get rid of the green drive, get rid of the 480, and get a better motherboard, like the UD3H. A 7950 would be a good card.
Good, just make the motherboard a UD3H, better for overclocking, plus the price difference doesn't really make a difference at this budget.
no, but then again, went from 1.7k to 1.4k with a performance boost.

Awesome Build! This is mine. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/EG0W The Intel i5 3570K is a good processor But The AMD FX-8350 Is the same maybe even a little bit better for about 30-50$ Cheaper.
Another thing i would change the Power Supply to something a little better than Aceattwister Posted. I wouldn't Cheap out on the Power Supply That's a Big No-No!

Seasonic is one of, if not, the best power supply brand out there...

I'm not saying it's a bad company, There great. In my Opinion i wouldn't Cheap out on the Power Supply. Regardless Of the brand!
if you mean by the Wattage the system i suggested would barely touch 500watts, let alone 620.
if you mean price, remember price =/= performance.

It's the parts inside that matter! If the price is that low, The parts inside had to be cheap. How else can they make a profit? Think about that. Power Supplys DO explode! I'm not saying go and buy a $200 Power-Suppy but something over $90 Atleast. Corsair Is owned by SeaSonic. They are both a good company. But that does not mean ALL of there products are As good. Just go with something $20 More, At the least. Remember now guys, This is MY personal Opinion. OP I would do some research on The power Supply you pick, And If there's good reviews and it Is at the right wattage go for it! :)Another thing You are going to want to buy a SSD. Samsung is great. also buy a Reg Harddrive to store your stuff on. Windows will run on the SSD and Performance will be alot better. (Exp: Boot in less than 10 Sec)

Only bad quality PSUs explode. a 300watt corsair, for example, will last as long a 750watt one.

IIRC Corsair had a single line of PSUs made by Seasonic.
and like i said, SeaSonic psu's are probably the best in terms of reliably, performance, and only a bit expensive. I think their cheapest is around $60.
and again i must stress price =/= perfroamce. hell, look at Alianware. their $700 X51 is only a bit better than a $350 A10 build...
My opinion is you go do some research.

No offense, but don't give people bad advice. That power supply is one of the best on the market. And Corsair is not owned by Seasonic, but Corsair uses some rebranded Seasonic PSUs.

Super Flower is also a really good OEM, about equal to Seasonic.
