Build is <$1000 if you take away the Monitor. Thanks to IRC for helping me out last night/morning! (I'm Berk)

Couple questions:

  • Is this build OC-ready (like moderate-intensive)? If so, how much extra performance should I be expecting?

  • Am I spending too much for the 750W PSU? (it's on sale till 10/9, seems like it's a good buy)

  • Do I need a better fan? I heard the Source 210 only has one stock fan, would that be enough for this build?

I'm lucky to have the CPU and GPU prices so low, and I'm really excited about the cheap window case and owning an SSD. If only SSD's were cheaper... oh well it's totally worth it :)

This is my first desktop, my first PC I'm putting together, basically lots of firsts! I'm open to any suggestions!
