650€ PC for a friend of mine.

So this system only has one goal and that's to game at 1440p. He is willing to trade SSD speeds for highere fps and he does not care about noise nor power efficeny.

 

No Os are anything other than the Pc needed.

What I came up with

 

Case: Raijintek Arcida (By the looks of it a great budget case)

Motherboard: Asrock 970 Pro 3 2.0

CPU: FX 8320

Ram: Crucial Balistics 2x4G 1600mhz CL9

PSU: EVGA 600B

Storage: Segate 1TB HDD

GPU: Powercolour R9 290 PCS+ 

 

Total 668€ 

This stretches his budget a little bit but he still fine with it. 

 

Is there anything I forgot about? 

 

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

r9 290 tri-x if you can find it for a similar price, much better cooling than the PCS

The price difference is 30€ and is a really good cooler...

if you can afford to add that then go with it because it has better temps than any other 290 cooler.

I'm already stretching the budget and the difference is minimal...
