Will be placing the order tomorrow.

Will be using for Developing/Gaming and will be overclocking. Will be adding another GPU in the future. I have a 6TB WD Red Secondary storage already.

 

Mostly need advice on the PSU(Brand wise, want to stick to 750w) and GPU(Brand wise) and Mobo(Brand wise). Budget will be 1350(STRICT) however if there are valid reasons to go a bit more I'm open for suggestions.

 

Also trying to stick to Amazon as they are easiest to ship to my country.

It looks solid man, a good PSU should definitely be a apart of your build since you are looking to SLI in the future.

You really don't need to spend so much on that mobo there are much cheaper options out there.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Looks good only thing I'd change is the cooler. The NH-D15 is cheaper, quiter and has the same if not better performance. If you don't like the look of the NH-D15 there's also this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-cpu-cooler-phtc14pebk Also, mobo is overkill, MSI Gaming 5 is fantastic and much cheaper, and I recommend the Gigabyte G1 over the Windforce.

A 2x8GB memory kit would be much better. It will put less strain on the memory controller and allow for an upgrade without replacing modules. PNY XLR8 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory is well priced on Amazon. The lower speed will not make a noticeable difference.

 

The psu does not show any price. If it must be purchased it will put you well over budget.

You can still OC it heavily, develop stuff and game with it. And you save 50$. With that you can buy, either a 1TB drive in case something happens (IDK, its optional either way) or fans.

Sorry it seems the PSU I chose did not link the price, but at amazon it is $113.99 . My total Comes to $1500 on amazon.

 

I looked at air cooling for the cpu is it worth it In the end? Even when overclocking?

 

EVGA 220-G2-0750-XR is the same price and a much better psu.

 

Air cooling is fine, even when overclocking. If one really wants to push overclocking, then a good AIO will do a better job.
