Hey guys!

 

I have gotten a job recently and I am saving up for my first PC. This is what I am looking at: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Qqrq

I will be upgrading to a R9 290/290x, or a 780/ti. Mu budget is really no higher then what is there. Will this work or should I change something?

My PC Spec:

CPU: Intel i7-8700k @ 3.7GHz, Motherboard: , Memory: 16gb , Storage: , Storage: Crucial BX100 250GB, Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM, Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC(x2), Case: Corsair C70 Green, Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750G GOLD, Operating System: Windows 8.1, CPU Cooler: CORSAIR Hydro Series H100, Optical Drive: LG Internal Super Multi Drive

Switch to Windows 8.1

 

Also, why do you need 16gb of RAM? Seems kind of excessive

 

Also, you can probably get a better value on that CPU cooler

8320, air cooler, m5A99FX EVO/GA-UD3, Seagate 7200 RPM 3TB drive, less RAM, better GPU

 

re-evaluate build before buying, planning a build ahead of time is bad. 

 

and do you really need a blu ray drive?

Meant to do that... :P

The 16 gb is more for video rendering and such.

 

Bluy-ray, yes. It would be the only one in my house. Maybe... IDK, might take it out.

What's the system being used for? 

Why the Red hdd? ...is the bluray drive really necessary?

Red for price. Bluy ray, maybe not because I might be getting a PS4 which has bluyray. If not, this would  be the only blue ray I would have in the house.

 

A little more info: It will be used for gaming, mostly BF4 and Crysis 3. I want to be running 3 1080p monitors also.

The red isn't exactly cheap. The barracuda is quite cheaper and faster. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st3000dm001

Nah. AMD is just cheaper. :D On GPU, I really don't care. Just want Performance to price.

What kind of performance are we talking about?

What's the system being used for?

Ok. Now, does the FX 8320 come w/ a heat sink or do you have to buy a separate one? If it comes with one, I might not get one right off the bat and wait a week. Learn how to overclock or something in that week.
