Looks great, but get a 2x4GB ram kit instead of a 1x8GB, other than that it looks all good

Thanks alot for helping me out :D

1x8b and 2x4gb doesnt really matter, get whichever that is cheapest

I would suggest going EVGA for psu.

That case is way too old, get something like a s340

I personally would go for r9 290 (better $ per FPS)

Same performance for a lowered cost.

 @bleachichigo I would stay with the GTX 970 instead of the AMD GPU, the R9's heat up pretty fast. Using 2x4 GB RAM or 1X8 GB RAM doesn't really matter, go with what is cheapest.

other than that everything is great in the build.

 

good luck with your build.
