Accompanied with the Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-x Tri-x OC edition as the GPU

 

And the HX750i as the PSU

 

Any comments would be nicely appreciated, feel free to ask and express your own opinions politely.

This is a better spec.

 

The EVGA psu is a better choice over the HX750i although that is a good psu. The EVGA has a longer warranty, and should be cheaper.

 

The MX100 is better value over the Corsair.

 

The i5 4690K is a better cpu than the fx8350.

 

The BeQuiet is a good cpu cooler and it will be quieter than the H100i.

Like the idea but I am an AMD fanboy, an intel processor for me would spell trouble as my last two failed on me. Bad luck or bad timing? idk.

 

Thank you for the suggestion about changing the SSD, had a look at the crucial and I am happy to go with your suggestion.

 

I've heard good stories about the new line of HX series power supplies and although I have my respect for EVGA at the moment I'm fixated on holding onto the HX750i. It is also a result of my OCD for a blue and black set up

 

I like the idea of a quieter CPU cooler but I do not mind too much noise nor do I care too much about budget, also note most the fans will be replaced at some point to the Noctua NH-F12s.

 

Thank you for the suggestions and comments! Always helpful

 

Also would you believe I would require an increase in RAM modules? I fear at times 8GB doesn't quite always cut it for me.
