First PC build. Suggestions?

[Luxpin_]

This is still a work in progress and there is much room for change I just would like some opinions on my build so far its going to be an all black and red build and I still need to pick the case so I'm open to suggestions and if you guys see anything wrong or something please tell me   
Constructive criticism is always welcome

Also I'm not done so any suggestions on parts I haven't added are always helpful

What are you going to use it for.

[zlolslavez]

get 850 evo its cheaper.

650w is probably a bit low for SLI despite 970 being an efficient card. maybe 750 or even 800+.

That is one great build. You are fine.

What case(s) are you looking at?

A 80+ Gold 650W PSU will handle that no problem.

Nice build! Get your OS from G2A or somewhere else, I got my Windows 8 copy for 12$. 

 

I would probably get one 980 instead of 2 970s... but thats just me!

 

That build would look sexy as hell in a black and red H440 by NZXT!

Thanks for the comments guys ! And this build will be gaming not really doing any rendering or any of all that video editing stuff just playing far cry and high intense games like that. Also I was looking at NZXT cases but I feel to many people use them and there kind of over used. But its hard to find a good black and red case.

OMG, I saw the first 3 parts and thought that it was one of my old build lists...

 I agree with the case, but I'd probably stick with the two 970's.

an anti static wrist strap wont hurt. stay away from carpeted areas. water bad.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gcLwFTI love this case but as you can see there are 2 problems

I think a basic optical drive is necessary right?

Nah the 970 preforms decently even on one card and in sli will outperform the 980 most of the time.

Looks pretty awesome. I personally would drop one of the hard drives and the disk drive for a larger SSD, but your uses may be different. Maybe a 750W PSU as well for OC head room, but even then you should be fine.

[Cactu]

that i5 is probably going to bottleneck you, i would just go for an i7

Linus posted a youtube video where he compared 970 sli vs singel 980 look at that if you havent.
