Help with a build

[Ecls]

Hi Guys,

 

This is my current build that I am working on http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/FhFFYJ.

 

Since this is my first build I don't exactly know what are the best parts and I mostly wing it.

 

So I would like to ask for help either to add or swap out some parts in this build to make it better. Or just use a different build altogether.

 

I am willing to spend around £1200-1500 ( $1900-$2400).

 

I should also mention that since this is my first build I am not really comfortable with over-clocking.

 

Thanks in advance.

You need a beefier PSU.  Not my build of choice, but its not my choice.

Personally i would not go with Asrock, I dont really trust them yet.

I prefer Asus, MSI and Gigabyte since they are older more reputable brands and i rarely see someone saying their motherboard dies.

Otherwise i think it looks good.

Less as in 10% is not that much. Sli 970 is nearly the price of one 980 and although they dont scale lineair is still blows the 980 out the field.

Btw change the M500 to a MX100 same producer but the mx100 is newer and better.
