New PC build for soon

[Maslofski]

So ill be moving to spain soon and buy this new pc there.

 

I put this machine together with  PCPP spain, amazon spain and mediamarkt spain.

 

I intend on adding another gpu or even going for a 980 once i sell my old pc, not quite sure yet.

 

I could also swap the SSD for a M.2 M500 240GB, but i only found it having slower benchmark results, in the few i found

 

The wacom tablet seemed the perfect compromise between prize, size and me being a lefty, so buttons on the left is a no go. Any other ones i should check out?

 

Only thing missing too would be one of those batteries for power outagges and id be set.

 

Ill be using it for gaming (specifically arma 3 heavily modded), Blender (needs CUDA), Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, InkScape, and whatever video editing software my sister intends on using on it.

 

What do you guys think of it?

Will you only have a single 256 gb drive in your PC?  If so.. I'd get like a cheap WD blue or something for more storage for games.

Eh, not too happy with it but I squeezed in the 980.  I am not recommending these changes, just options:
