Hi guys!!

 

I am looking to build a new PC in the next few weeks and could really use some advice on what to get.

 

Here is the specs for what I am currently looking at:

 

Intel i5-4690k

MSI GTX 760 OC 2GB DDR5 GPU

MSI Z97 SLI-PLUS Motherboard

600W PSU

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM

2TB Harddrive

NZXT Phantom 410 Chassis

 

Any advice would really be appreciated!!

 

Thanks in advance

Use PCPartpicker so people can edit/tweak your build

Perhaps a 1TB drive and in exchange for that a SSD.

Thanks for the fast replies guys!!

 

Just to clarify, I am looking for a GTX 760 as my budget is a bit cramped. What do you think of this GPU?

The 970 is worth the money.
