What do you think?

i see he won't wait for pascal/polaris. but if you wait for another week you can see the discounts roll in on the nvidia side of things. for the rest. i would go for a bit better ssd.

Tell him that the internet people appreciate a good red and black build, and think that he's crazy to NOT want better components.

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

Remember to quote people if you want them to see your reply!
