For the average person probably not, however if you are by any means competitive go for the TN. 

I think this is a very good build for 850 dollars. Also if you want you can spend a bit more and get a mobo and cpu that can OC

So yeah because of reasons.... I have a 120gb ssd and 500gb ssd, however I think I would like to add another 500gb or 1tb ssd. The problem is I have the NZXT s340 case with the MSI Z97 gaming 5 motherboard. My 2 ssds are in the usual ssd spot for my build, however Is it possible to install a 3rd somewhere? Can I just put another ssd in the place where you would usually put a normal hard drive?
 
I know this is a stupid question dont hurt me D:
 
Thanks in advance! 

First of all why that motherboard and CPU? Get a cpu without a k in it if u don't want to over clock to save a bit of money. I recommend 600+ watts like a g2 nova

I hope your right, but why am I only getting this now? Actually It would probably make sense I was in UNI and came back and just decided to manually check windows update and this is what it was. It is updating pretty quickly, so thats a plus. Will find out soon
 
EDIT: It was a big update, so all is good

I don't even remember tbh.Yes :LYea, easily. I was going to do a few tests and whatnot.

No, just no almost same performance in everything its not worth the money

I have up to 3gb ram usage for some reason when browsing.. And only like 700 mb is being used and the other 2-3 gb is invisible..

A game release date is "Breaking" - TECH - "News!" ???

Why did you get banned?

sapphire and msi are best according to most people on the internet and apparently sapphire is louder while on load and msi is quieter on loud and both are silent during idle altho apparently sometimes sapphire can spin 1 of its fan but its near silent apparently. Both are brilliant I would recommend either msi or sapphire I personally am getting msi 

I only get what is the best and I show no loyalty to any company and most people will agree with me on this but the R9 390 is a better deal than the 970 if they are similarly priced. 
 
Here is what I wrote on another topic regarding the 970 vs 390 debate
 
 
 They perform almost identical in 1080p, the r9 390 has been known to do 1-2 fps better in some games and then lose by 1-2 fps, its basically the same power as the 970, both have around the same temperatures in load (970 lower temp in idle) and same amount of noise pretty much, I have heard. The R9 390 is around the same price in most places and has 8GB VRAM, where as the 970 has 4GB VRAM. This will be useful in the future HOWEVER, the R9 390 is not powerful enough to utilize all that VRAM in most future games. But it will still be very useful in 1-2 years when games use between 4-6GB of VRAM.
 
The only thing that should have an impact in you deciding to pick the 970 or the 390 are these things IMO
 
-Drivers
-VRAM
-Coil whine
-power usage
 
People say AMD drivers are bad, but they are only partly right. Frankly both AMD and NVIDIA drivers are rubbish. So far the AMD drivers have done well for the R9 390, although some people have complained about having a hard time installing the GPU (I think its due to them not uninstalling previous drivers correctly). AMD drivers dont get updates as often, but dont need them as often as NVIDIA. NVIDIA drivers get updates quicker and they solve problems quicker than AMD does. Overall I would say NVIDIA drivers are better but not by as much people say. TBH they are both pretty poor
 
VRAM will be useful in a year or so but as I said the R9 390 is just not powerful enough to use more than 6GB VRAM or so in games in like 2-3 years I THINK, I could be completely wrong. But none the less the VRAM will be useful eventually.
 
Coil whine has been a known issue for the 900 series, especially the 970, I have had one and it has had annoying coil whine. Some make high pitch sounds and some make buzzing sounds, both being super annoying. But you probably wont realize when you play games anyway. As for the R9 390, I have not heard a single person complaining about (audible) coil whine yet, which is a good sign.
 
The 390 consumes more watts, but apparently people with 600+ watts will have no problems running a R9 390. Make sure ur PSU can handle it.
 
There is no point comparing performance, dont listen to most people who say 'THIS GPU HAS 20% MORE PERFORMANCE BLABLABLA', that is rubbish. They are basically the same.
 
I am neither a AMD or NVIDIA fanboy, I just pick whats best and so far I would say the R9 390 is better than the 970, and most people on the internet seem to agree with this.
(you cant go wrong with either they are both fantastic)
 
To answer your question for 60fps in the next 2-3 years the R9 390 will do the trick and the sapphire version is one of the best if not the best model of the 390 GPUs.

Your complaiming about hardly any difference
Smh

I dont see why you have all high end components except the PSU, the PSU is not a good piece of hardware to go cheap on.

Just got mortal kombat x on g2a for 8 euros, holy crap i was thinking about getting it on ps4 as well but i literally saved 50 euros!!!

I am getting a full refund off the 970 though and the 390 is 15 euros cheaper basically same performance and double the vram this seems logical

I have the same MOBO and its awesome but for your build since your not overclocking I would get a cheaper mobo such as an H97 version. Other than that, looks good.

Buy a 980 Ti and OC it. 
 
Source: Me gaming at 1440p on a 980. 

I have asus strix 970 and temps and noise are good.

I use hwmonitor when I used coretemp I got a virus warning so I didnt use that but apparently some people have no problem with it

I cant thank you enough. I did not even have to buy windows 8.1 again, I booted up from a USB which had the 64bit windows 8.1 version and followed the video. It automatically used the same product key. Thank you so much dude
