im a noob, how do i post pics?

[soaringchicken]

*thumbs up*, but for high end builds like this I'd get a better PSU (you only need 650watts though) like a gold EVGA or something. And you could get a better PSU.

CX power supplies, as stated in the video, are for basic system builds - they temperature tolerance is only 30*C and can cause issues real fast with a high end warm GPU. I'd strongly suggest EVGA or SeaSonic. Also, check the 390 since it's power is slightly above the 970 and has more than double the VRAM and with recent events it might have better DX12 support than the 970 - might, not will. Not sure yet.

Well whoever you based it off of is obviously not experienced. Unless it was Linus.

Hyper 212 Evo for CPU

SeaSonic for PSU

Hyper 212 Evo for CPU

SeaSonic for PSU

Or EVGA, as long as it's not the NEX series or the crappy 430W, 500W, etc. PSUs.

i considered the 390 but i said nah f*ck amd

Why so? Recently AMD have been quite a bit better at drivers and raw horsepower than Nvidia

do you want the ling of the vid i based most of my build on?

well here it is

 

i went for the i5, 1 970 and no ssd

Mush talks a lot but doesn't really say anything meaningful usually. I'd suggest skipping his advice.

intel CPU is what I advise - I was talking about the GPU

get an evga 500b instead. Much better than a CX from corsair (god bless your system if you use it)

Or better yet if your budget allows the seasonic m12ii is amazing for it's price (get the 520w version)

M12II EVO 620W would be better since it has some extra headroom for OCing and future upgrades. the G-series is also good at that price point

[don_svetlio]

shit

Btw - if only gaming get the 4690K - much better value
