Posted October 27, 2014 IMO almost perfect, but with $250 dollars left, he can replace the 970 with a 980 If he want to go with a 980, better spend ~100$ more and get 2 970 instead, it will be much more powerful Also I only get a 120GB SSD since I dont know what's he doing, so about 50-100$ of those 250$ might go to a bigger SSD, and some more go into a better case My rig: Intel Core i7 4790k | MSI Z97 PC Mate | GSKILL Ripjaws X 16GB 1866MHz | ADATA Premier SP550 480GB SSD | Seagate Barracuda 3TB | Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI Gaming X GTX 1070 | Thermaltake Versa N21 | Corsair CX550M Semi Modular PSU | AOC G2460PF 144Hz | Logitech G502 | GSKILL Ripjaws KM780 | GAMDIAS HEPHAESTUS V2 PCPartPicker | Old Build Log | New Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
