1. the v300 is known for its issues

2. the 290x is cheaper (up to $60 cheaper) and just as powerful in gaming and more powerful in OpenCL

3. the EVGA G2 750w is the same price and higher quality

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Samsung and Crucial are at the top for SSDs and they're not really much more expensive if you think about it...

Also, use pcpartpicker.com if you didnt know already. Just search for the cheapest crucial or samsung ssd at the capacity you want and get that.

Are you planning to overclock, or are you just planning ahead if you ever need the extra performance?

How about SLI?  Do you plan to do so, or just want the option?

The Samsung 840 Evo SSD has had some issues with it degrading over time; go for the 850 Evo.

My budget is $1200, if your recommending me something better I can spend a few bucks. the thing is that I'm gonna be tight on money because I still gotta get my mouse keyboard etc... I'm gonna get the Logitech g502 for my mouse and the corsair vengeance k70 which are both pretty expensive already .

You can fit your build in roughly a $1000 package without sacrificing performance.

 

Linus makes what he makes... it goes right back into his company, after his family is taken care of.  He invests in himself.

Companies send him all that for free for publicity for their products. Sometimes he has to send it back after he reviews it, sometimes he gets to keep it.

Oh I know that they sended the products but I though Linus always got to keep the products. He's still lucky to give a hands on review on the products early too at times and he's cool to show is viewers and fans to get and idea on his products

I wanna keep my motherboard because I like the color scheme . I'm going for a black and white build and a bit of blue so I bless you can find an all out white motherboard I can be impressed even if it's better all my parts matc the color scheme but I'm not sure if they are the best performance but they all match though they're still pretty good though for the price
