And what will i need if i would want to overclock the CPU in the future

Should i run the gtx 960 in SLI 6 months later or make do without a gpu and buy 1 6 months later as i have only have SGD2000

[CalumGiff]

Personally i would try and get a 280x over that 960 if u can manage. But yeah just buy the gpu the now and buy another in 6 months if u need it, which tbh with a single 1080p monitor u really wont

[NeatSquidYT]

Good, but as mentioned, unless you're playing Witcher 3 or GTA V or some other nVidia heavy games, get a 280x.

[anders_b]

i would chose a 280/280x over 960 and you dont need expensiv motherbord

[MiFan4149]

I want to be able to over clock the cpu and run SLI in 6 months later that's why I spent a lot on the motherboard and psu 

[MiFan4149]

And I plan to play games example like GTA V with decent frame rate and should I buy the gtx960 with 2gb or 4gb

[MiFan4149]

Or suggest a new build with the price list that I had put the link in the previous post but retain the cpu and case 

 

Want the build to be able to run SLI and cpu overclock when I had the $$ for water cooling

Hey MiFan4149,

 

Your build looks good with potential for upgrades. 

I would get a smaller PSU as even with OCing the CPU and two GPUs you won't need more than 550W.

The guys gave you some useful advice. 

I could add that you can add a SSD to the build as it would make a bug difference in terms of responsiveness, loading and boot times, transfer speeds and general performance.

Was going to add in SSD 6 months later

Which build will give me higher fps in games like gta v

Which build will give me higher fps in games like gta v

 

FPS and graphics generally depend on the power of the CPU and, more importantly, GPU. So I'd say, the better these two parts are, the better would your game would be. Games rely on storage only for their loading times and graphics and FPS stay unaffected by it. 

Since I an a Western Digital representative, I cannot really recommend any other specific product, so I'd advise you to read some good reviews and commend on all those parts, check some recommendation from the guys here and see the spec sheets of the parts that you are considering.
