Looks very good. Like Brazsty said you could get a better GPU though. A R9 280 is a good recommendation, but like PassionFruit tried to say, you will have trouble finding a 2GB version, so just go with the normal 3 GB version  .

I decided to get a R9 280X 3GB With my build just because £/$ to Performance it was allot better!

 

So I'd most certainly recommend that you get the R9 280X )

[Brazsty]

Lol i meant the r9 280 3gb version

I think i might be choosing overpriced parts, i choosed those parts a little bit for the looks, do you think that i can achieve that same performance with  cheaper parts?

Probably.

What's the system being used for? No mass storage or graphics card?

I need a system for Maya and 3dsMax and some rendering, and also a little bit of gaming but i´dont care about playing games at ultra settings. Thak you for your interest

That still doesn't explain the lack of a gpu or mass storage though. Do you have spare drives lying around?

I planning on going with a r9 280 that some of the other users suggested, but the truth is i dont´ know wich brand, i like the design of de XFX and the ASUS, any suggestion? About mass storage i do have some 2´5 inch drives that work perfectly fine, but i don´t know if im going to be able to put them in the system, this is my first build, and thank you so much.
