I'm just now saving up for this build because it is quite expensive for me atleast. But I hope this will be future proof for a few years at 1080p+..... So I have some parts now but I'll just post every part going in to this machine. I'm going to name it Subsonic.

Specs:

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard

Intel i5 4690K Devils Canyon

Sapphire VAPOR-X R9 290

ADATA 8GB (upgrading to something a little better after)

Swiftech H220x Water cooler (when it comes out lol)

Corsair Graphite 760T Case <3

Seagate 250GB and a WD Blue 1TB drive

Samsung 840 Evo 120gb for Windows 8.1

Im might make a build log after I get the parts so stay tuned

Provided that your upcoming build is pretty sturdy I would get a 250GB model solid state drive.

Will you be adding another R9 290 in the coming months?

I'm thinking about CF it but maybe later on,.. Also I probably will go with the 250 Gb depending on price fluctuations.

That's a good choice. Erm.. I would get the tapatalk app and glue yourself to the..erm..hot deals section. ssd's are very much on sale most of the time.

I think it's too flimsy for me.. :D

 

Not if you're going to be gaming at 1080p for a few years, it'll last a little bit.

He said himself when the case is closed, he is suprised how well built and strong it actually is

True, but I still think it flexes too much.

meh. I love it. I have faith in it, I'm not going to put expensive parts in a case I don't trust. But thanks for the input :)
