new build, see any problems?
i have resisted the move from win7, my 2011 build has done fine until bsod that i don't feel like fixing again. i built my last 3 pc's, the last 2, win2k & win7 using http://www.mysuperpc.com/ have done pretty well. he hasn't updated the site in a few years.
here is my first win10 attempt, will order parts in the next few days.
feel free to judge or tell me if i have a hardware conflict

up to $864 and haven't chosen a monitor yet. still using non-hd dvi dual 17'' dell monitors on the win7 pc.
costco has some deals on 34" monitors around $200 i may get. Amazon has a 32" for $199
will throw my 1T hdd in for storage, thou it is 6 yrs old
could save money with the power supply but it's quiet and efficient and i rarely turn off my pc
not sure if 2x8gb ram is a good idea, any difference if i use 4x4gb ram? i've had two 4gb sticks of g.skill ram go bad in the last couple of years
