Help on PC Build

[Stroto]

Hey there. I'm fairly new to PC building. I would like some insight or advice on this build that I plan to do. I went to Pax East 2015 and won an Evga Geforce GTX 980 SC Acx 2.0 and so that reduced a butt load on the budget. I don't want to spend more than $1400 on the build, excluding the graphics card. This will be running on Windows 8.1 64-Bit. Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated.

use pc part picker it helps us a bit more with your build.

[spenser_l]

What are you going to be using the computer for? You could save on the motherboard for sure. I would also put in an SSD for the OS. Also get a PCIe Network card if you're going wireless.

[Stroto]

I'm not much annoyed if the apps and games open a bit slower. 

[Stroto]

Okay. I'll see to change the storage. The pc is going to mainly for gaming.

Haha. I was in the middle of putting it together. Thanks bro. So what do you think? Good for high setting gaming?

[spenser_l]

For gaming you'll be great with that 980 at 1080p for a while. I changed it to something with a cheaper motherboard that fits your black and white theme. Getting a $240 mobo isn't really necessary. I also added an SSD and PCIe network card that I personally am using. I really recommend getting one just for overall OS speed.

Just sayin, you will regret having no SSD. How much is the cheapest 120gb now? 50 bucks or something.

lucky winner, I suggest an SSD and an i7-4790k if you are using it for content creation as it has hyperthreading

The 500R doesn't have a window (Only mesh) so colour coordination doesn't really matter.
