Building a PC

[DarkBlade2117]

This is what I've got so far. I've got a few questions since im new to this. Does this motherboard support SLI? I couldn't find anything about it. If it does would 2 GTX 970s bottleneck that CPU? I'd rather not pay $200 more for a GTX 980. If it does and it won't bottleneck it would that 750W PSU be enough? Just a few questions and also what do you think I should change is it good? I've gotten a lot of people say this is good and it will be a nice PC. Thanls for the feedback.Im about $160 under budget and Id like to use that for a new desk LEDs, and a new mouse pad.

You would not get a bottleneck from the I5 4790k.

The PSU will be more than adequate.  I don't see any bottlenecks here.

 

Your mobo does in fact support both SLI and Xfire.

The motherboard does support SLI and a 4790K is a bottleneck to nothing (maybe 4 titan x's). The 750 watt is more than enough to run a single 970, a 600 watt would run fine, but if you want another 970 in the future the 750 watt will handle it very well. All around good build

Alright thanks guys I figured the 750W would future proof it. Thanks to everyone, in the future when I get more money I might get another GTX 970.

A couple of tweaks

 

Better cooler, gpu and psu. The Gigabyte G1 is better than the MSI imo.

real nice build, no bottle necks, the only problem is some games even AAA brand new titles sometimes don't support sli.  If your only going to game in 1440 or 1080 an 970 is more then powerful enough though.

I don't plan on anything higher then 1440p. I'd rather have 144hz and 1440p is the highest resolution that's supports that. That's not a cheap monitor so not for awhile though. I'll wait for the price of the monitors to $100-$200 then I'll getting one.
