Budget: 1300 or low as possible

Reason: I need a stronger computer for content creation, 3D Rendering, CNC programs and etc

Boxing Day is tomorrow and I hope I could have the community do a quick review if I'm missing anything, I know I don't have an SSD in the build I plan on trying to get one but can't add it into the current build at the moment, I'm most likely going to go and get it first than HDD on next pay check. Am I good to go or should I make some changes? All items will be bought at memory express

Maybe OP really likes the 750D and isn't trying buying a cardboard box to chuck his build in.

a used 290x is $200 in this area and its just as powerful as the 970 so you could maybe upgrade to x99 with the saved money

or get a better psu

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
