Opinions? $2500 AUD Gaming Build

[tehrantechtips]

Hey guys,

 

Ive been building this computer and changing ideas for a solid few weeks, and id just like your opinions on this build, and especially on whether the r9 390 is worth it for 1080p gaming, i want to max all game for the next few years and to take full advantage of my 144z monitor and I'm just wondering whether its worth it, or if i should go with the r9 380, Id also like opinions on the r9 390 v Gtx 970, i know that the 390 is better performance but I've heard things about AMD's crapy driver support and software features. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer in advance

 

Here is my Build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/WqyTyc

 

Thanks

Something like this a bit better, and if you want you can get a cooler in the future and overclock that i5 a bit.

The NEX is not a reliable power supply, at all.
