Holy smokes.

Possibly, no one has commented because 1. people want to hear what you are aiming for - a gaming PC? CAD/CAM? Web-surfing? etc., and 2. you sure piled on a list of pricey items without any argument for why you need such pricey items when you can do nearly as well by sliding down the price range a lot, and 3. you have not said what size the SSD is - it might not be large enough to comfortably support operating system plus a few multi-player games.

A first-time build does not have to be the ultimate Win experience. Largely, builders work for a trade-off between cost and function. For your first build, you may want to build something that is straightforward, not too expensive, and can be upgraded in the future.

If money is no object, just get the most expensive of everything and enjoy. Just make sure everything is compatible.

I am not trying to be rude. Just kinda surprised by the price tags, and the lack of responses thus far.

• You have a non-K CPU, yet a Z-mobo. Get a K-CPU.
• You have the old CPU. Get this one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117369
• Just get any DVD drive, they are like $20.
• I'd get 2x 8GB RAM sticks to start with. 1.5V. Choose a brand.

Make changes and come back to us.
