Drop the stupid CPU and motherboard, go for an i5 or i7?

 

The 9590 is pointless. It's an overclocked and overpriced FX 8320. And maybe consider GTX 970s, though they cost a bit more.

Drop the AMD CPU and go intel, the 9590 is a waste of silicon, also no SSD for boot drive?

what should i change i want for purely gaming

1. Budget & Location

You may have listed a heap of parts that all add up to your preferred budget but it is easier if you just list the total amount you'd like to spend and the currency as well as if you'd consider going above that budget for more performance. We need the location as well because $US are different to $AUD and $CAD ect.

2. Aim

What is the system going to be used for? Web browsing, 3D work? Different systems need different levels of performance - a computer based for web browsing and office use won't handle heavy graphic design and video editing and a proper video editing system isn't good for gaming. If your aim is for gaming, please list what sort of gaming. In the same way that different usage types need different systems, you'll need a lot more power to run Far Cry 3 or Crysis 2 than you would Minecraft.

3. Monitors

How many monitors do you plan on running? Do you plan on moving to more monitors in the future? What resolution are they at too?

4. Peripherals

Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors ect. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

5. Why are you upgrading?

We ask this because you may see upgrading as the only path to solve an issue but things such as driver updates, reconfiguration or cleaning can boost performance without spending a cent.

wtf? why does it look like this?

 

he will get only one 980 and he is done rather than 2 cf 290 that will produce more noice and heat

Even two 290s is cheaper then one 980, and it will perform better. Noise isn't an issue with the Windforce 290, 300R has enough airflow, and 1000W is plenty of power to run two 290s.

the amd r9 290 windforce is 299.99 * 2 = 599.99 whereas the nvidia 970 asus strix is 398 $

and it only gets max 300 w

You were telling me GTX 980 and now you tell me 970... make up your mind.

 

Also the R9 290 Windforce is $255 each. 

 

$255 x 2 = $510
