Want to build my first computer budget is not a problem, where thinking about something like this:
 

Corsair RM1000 1000watt 80 PLUS Gold ---> seasonic 1000w psu (after feedback)
Kingston HyperX Savage 480GB 2.5" SATA-600 ---> intel NVME ssd (after feedback)
 
 
 
 
Anything I chould consider changing, or would be cool to have? 

CPU: i7-5960X COOLER: Fractal Design Kelvin S36 GPU: Asus GTX T MOBO: Asus Maximus VI Hero  RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2800MHz PSU: Seasonic 1000w STORAGE: Intel® SSD 750 1.2 TB Case: NZXTH440

How much have you got to spend on it and what are you using it for?

Welcome to the forum and don't forget to follow your own topics @Dibba

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!

For a first computer, that is a VERY nice build you have.

looks nice tho a couple changes

seasonic 1000w psu

and a new intel NVME ssd

Ty will change to seasonic 1000w, not really sure about the NVME (because of color) but the speed makes me consider it!

Looks like a good setup. But want to go for 4k in the future with sli, would 980 be a better option

then?

you can ignore his post..he basically cut your pc specs in half

if budget is no issue..then you defiantly want a 2011-3 setup

 

dual 980s would give you better performance then a titan...but would also come with other problems

also you probably wanna wait for the 980TI coming out very soon

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

just msg me on my profile

Thanks, will not buy for a month. So worth the waiting. But dual titans, are they worth it?

It's a good set up but 1,000 watts is a little much.  Save yourself some money and go with a 750 or 850 watt 

if he's gonna sli in the future tho...he will want the extra power
