Would go with like a 600-650 watt power supply. See if you can get an AM3 socket if you want to go amd. Look at the 8350. No reason to have an APU and a graphics card so just go with a normal processor.

ok thanks

 

problem is .. irts like 100$ higher... were allredy 75$ overprice

That cpu is going to bottleneck the graphics card and getting an apu does not help. The amd apu's are great for its onboard graphics. Since your getting a discrete graphics card. It makes the on board graphics obsolete. Get a intel pentium g3240 or a amd athlon x4 860k

[BlackJack]

I would switch to an FX-Series CPU (and an according Mainboard).

You are using an dedicated graphics card you won't need an APU.

and you could choose a smaller (less watt) PSU except you want to run an SLI config later

You have to change MB to an AM3+ socket one

Give me 20 minutes. That is quite a weak build

[jnmbhj]

he plans on using sli 970's 

that athlon x4 will def bottleneck 2 970's 

you should upgrade the motherboard and cpu 

Here is what I would do for the system

The next upgrade he can do is upgrade the CPU to a 8320

Much more balanced. R9 290 and FX 8320E will complement each other nicely. Faster RAM and a beautiful case round out the build.
