More than 8gb of ram would'nt be beneficial for gaming but it would also not harm So if u have money to spend then go buy it. But for gaming 16gb is more than enough

If you are going with a locked processor then going with Z97 is of no use(though it is cheap) A H97 would work just fine or just get a 4690k

Any Game on 1080p at ultra AA off with decent fps

I have a r9 270 along with a core i3 ^,^ It runs Battlefield 4 at around 40 fps at ultra The gtx 750 ti is a good card but the r9 270 is much better. There is no support for sli. The only benefit for going with a gtx 750ti over a R9 270 is shadowplay!

The gaming performance of this build would be better and it fits your budget...

The 2 r9 280x in crossfire would perform better. But for future upgrade the single Gtx 970 would be better.

If u r going to play on dual monitors then u would need more than a Gtx 660ti. U can go with a Gtx 980 or get another Gtx 660ti and run them in sli.

What games u r going to play. At what resolution u r going to play at. Where do u live.

This looks better for gaming.

Its your choice. It dependends on ur style. Gert the one u like. If u dont want silent then dont go with a H440 And the arc midi r2 is just fine. But the enthoo pro would be a better option. There are many out there.

U could cheap out on ur motherboard. Get a Msi z97 gaming 5 would be just fine. Get A Wd black instead the blue much faster. And would suggest changing the peripherals would help in a better and comfortable gaming experince.

That was my personal choice. The Gtx 980 form gigabyte is clocked at higher speed and will keep the card much cooler. But its 50$ expensive.

Where r u going to buy form.

And for future proofing for 5 years the Gtx 980 would be the best choice. *correction* Go with the blue SPEC-01 it has the same interior as the 200r but with a cooler look

Here u go.

It will run all games at 1080p at 60 fps. And if u r not going to overclock your processor insanely then just go with a Cm hyper 212 evo.
