only thing I would suggest is getting a 290(x) and spend the extra $100 elsewhere but yes that will do fine at 1080p

[MegaDave91]

How about: blue balls

[Guest]

This build should be able to play those games quite well.

Nice build, very well balanced and more than capable of 1080p. If you plan to stay at 1080p for a while use the GTX 970, otherwise if you are going to get a 2K monitor do what @MegaDave91 and buy an R9 290X.

is it true high fps even though i dont have a high refresh rate monitor will look smoother right?

also can this rig hanldle a 3rd monitor in the future?

Consider a second 970 for 5760x1080p gaming.

i wont be using all three monitors for gaming probably 2 for surfing the webs and 1 for gaming

[Lolzious]

"Will this build run BF4 and CS:GO at 1080p?" LOOOOL that would tank 1440p.

In that case a single 970 is fine.

[dariuslaser0]

get a r9 290x cause prices are droping for the r9 290x and you actually get 4 complete gigabytes of VRAM. But, only downside is that it runs runs hot as hell.

Get a better psu (http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NZXT/HALE82-700-V2/11.html). The color doesn't matter as the unit is not visible in the S340 window. Besides, a 500W - 600W model will provide more than enough power.

 

Consider SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze, Antec HCG-620M or SeaSonic SSR-550RM.
