it doesn't work for me, but it doesn't matter. i've put the parts that you should get below. get the g1 gaming gigabyte series 980 instead. also, get a samsung ssd. you are going to need a cpu cooler for your cpu if you plan on overclocking. if you don't plan on overclocking the cpu, get a 4690. read my guide on how to overclock; link in my forum signature.

  • i would also suggest that you get a 2tb western digital hdd instead
  • if you can afford a 250gb ssd from samsung get that
  • the psu that i've recommended above is great
  • if you can't find the cpu cooler above in my build, try getting a corsair h60 or a noctua u14s. do not get the u9s or below, they aren't strong enough

if i were you, this is what i would buy:

  • I recommend you get the Noctua NH-U14S instead of the one I added above. It's around the same price but offers better performance
