First Build, Need Guidance

[Kola21]

Hi all, this is my first time posting to the linustechtips forums but I've been a long time viewer of the youtube channel.

 

Im needing some help to be pointed in the right direction regarding my first build

This is my current build outline.

 

My main usage will be gaming at 1080p 60fps and light video editing with possibly 2 monitors. Im am set on an mAtx setup and have already bought the bitfenix prodigy m case.

Im based in New Zealand and am able to track down the parts I have listed but any other suggestions or recommendations are welcom.

 

Thanks so much

-Kola

Thanks so much, I have no maximum as im mostly buying parts as I go. That does look a lot better, I was tossing up between the Gtx 970 and the R9 290x

Further question, would it be worth spending a little more on a mobo that supports sli if i was to add another card later?
