So I have decided that I want to get into PC gaming and a little graphic design. So I decided to put together my own build and was wondering what you guys thought of it! I really want to stay as close as possible to $1200 but I'm open to any suggestions. .

Nice build but why spend 130$ on a case? when you can get a nice one for 60 or 70$

First of all, if you're spending $1200 I would recommend Intel, specifically an i5 whether it be unlocked or locked is your choice. More cores and gigglehertz doesn't mean more performance.
Drop the shitty cpu cooler, get cheaper RAM, get a cheaper case, change out the PSU bomb that you have chosen, and you don't have to buy Windows (cough cough)
and that should leave you with enough money to go the Intel route, changing out the SSD for a BX100 or MX100 wouldn't be a terrible idea either.
I assume your budget is in USD.

You could drop the aftermarket cooler and use the Xeon's stock cooler. The saved money will allow you to upgrade to a 500GB SSD. If you want to overclock, I can change it a little to fit a 4790k in there.
Just wondering why you told me that gtx's suck and now you are recommending one. stop being a hypocite

You talk some serious amount of shit in these sections. When did I say "gtx's suck"? That's just a blatant lie.

That's another blatant lie. Go ahead and screenshot me saying that. I have never once said that Nvidia "sucks"

I like Xeon build but it's too pricey for my right now. I want to stay around $1200 USD including mouse and keyboard. That's why I went with a AMD build. But if you have a complete Intel build for around $1200 I would gladly consider it.
