I'm busy so this might be wrong in some way, sorry I'll check back later! Definitely will all work together but I need to check the motherboard's overclocking capabilities

Do you currently have a computer if so what are the specs on everything you might be able to just upgrade your desktop into a gaming PC and get great performance.

How will the build run without an Operating System?

He didn't say that he needed an OS.

[RazerZ]

He didn't say that he needed an OS.

Why would he? If he's asking for advice on a PC build we should let him know an OS is required and is not included with the parts.

Because a relative maybe have a key lying around? Not everyone needs an OS.

Me and my relatives have at least 10 keys lying around for windows, it's different for every person.

Maybe a friend of his has a spear key that he will be giving it to him.

I dont need an OS I ll have free windows from my university... But I just realized I ll get a job this summer so f*ck this low bugdet stuff...

Another question I have is should I get a 960 or a 280/280x ? Or should I wait for the new amd cards? Will there be anything at that pricepoint thats worth it?

Can't say until the cards actually are released.
