$1000 build suggestions?

May I ask why you keep on changing the power supplies? The ones you are choosing are unreliable.

Looks like 2 way crossfire with skylake and potential overclocking could get close to 850W. I chose that one since it's cheap but semi modular and 80+ bronze. Can you find a better one at a reasonable price?

That review makes it look pretty damn good

There is nothing wrong with the Antec HCG.  Stick with it.  ;)

I'd probably swap the case and tweak a few things but this is a pretty solid build. Is the be quiet! any better than, say, a Hyper 212 EVO? Also why 1x8GB RAM?

Edit: Thoughts @TheKDub ?

I'd put the EVGA G2 650W PSU that I linked a few posts up in, and swap the ssd out for a samsung 850 evo instead (more reliable, and faster).

 

Looks good other than that.

I don't think 650W is nearly enough to power 2 way crossfire 390's.

I might take the SSD advice.
