i am not going to overclock. also i wont be upgrading for 5 years. so i want a system that can still take games at least on medium at >50 fps.

the most graphics intense game that ill be playing on this system would be the upcoming witcher 3, other than that i would mostly play F2P (i.e. EOS online, TERA, Blades and Souls, Warframe, Diablo 3, Sims 3, etc....) reason why i went for a better cpu since MMORPGs are more CPU dependent. also i want my system to be as cool and quite as it can be, reason why i didnt go for the stock cooler.

please suggest/comment on the build

i might wait for the release of the 300 series so i can get a better deal on the GPU and maybe upgrade to a 290x.

thank you ^~^

 

EDIT: please tell me if there are good r9 280x or 290/x GPUs with a great PBS and backplate, since the GPU is pretty heavy.

 

EDIT #2:

i am a bit OCD on this since this will going to be my first build so i tried doing a bit of research on AMD builds, and apparently they are cheaper and maybe "better" on gaming but less "powerful" all around. but this build is cheaper and a bit stronger compared to my 280x. please comment on the build, and if ever i need to change anything or suggestion or if there compatibility issues, please do tell me. thank you ^~^

The stock cooler isn't loud, it's just not very good at cooling.

well i am planning to get it as cool as possible and as quite, plus i have a stock cooler and it is loud. annoyingly loud, specially under heavy load and playing MMORPGs that are more CPU dependent (i.e. WOW)
