What is your location?

Will You OC?

Will you Sli/Crossfire in the future?

Get some cheaper ram. A seagate barracuda will save a few dollars. A cheaper motherboard would be good. You MAY be able to get a 970.

I am from Croatia

I won't OC

Wont crossfire

 

I have bought prebuit PC few months ago and I decided to check what kind off PC I could have gotten for exactly same money if I did custom built.

 

Now I am asking you guys would you change something on it and whats your general opinion about it.

I want dual channel memory not 1x8gb.

I want 1TB HDD from WD, why 2x 1tb HDD?.

I don't want PNY GTX 780 that I never heard for.

Case doesn't support USB 3.0 and PSU most likely doesn't fit.

Psu will fit, hitachi is a good brand, 780 is a better video card, dual channel does not make much performance difference. Do you actually use usb 3?

Edited my post a bit so its more clear.

 

I don't want to waste most of my money on GPU that performs bit better than r9 280x and cheaper motherboard. And yeah USB 3.0 is pretty important.
