This all is costing me quite a bit here in SA, so wanted to know what you guys think of a decent gaming machine and racing Sims. Will also do light video editing like twice a year.

Are you playing your racing sim with mutli monitors ?

Sounds pretty good.

 

And you should have the wattage/board to SLI 970s down the line.

Pretty good, high specs and well rounded up. Not even gonna bother to ask for a partpicker link, thats how pleased i am with that build.

I had an RM650 paired with the MSI GTX 970 for a bit and was getting terrible coil noise from the psu and a little from the 970. Loud, low to medium pitched buzz in games. Same psu was silent when I swapped an MSI GTX 650 and 760 back into the system. I recently replaced the RM650 with an AX860 and both the GTX 970 and psu are now silent. I've read some mixed opinions on the AX series power supplies but it fixed my problems and is working fine for me. This is just my personal experience though, yours and others might be different. The AX series is also more expensive but it would match the red and black thing you have going on.

Or just not get a corsair but a Superflower, Seasonic, EVGA, Antec which are cheaper and still as good as some of the overpriced corsair ones. Just saying don't need a platinum PSU to run SLI 970's smoothly.

I might consider changing for a different corsair PSU, or even a antec as the S340 does have a psu cover

You'll get fluid gaming performance at 1080p also if you have 1440p monitor you'll get decent performance.

 

Why Corsair GS SSD?

Why 2400MHz RAM? Why not 1600MHz RAM?
