First gaming PC build

[Giggidy25]

Hi everyone, I hope to buy the parts to this soon. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck at $800. What am I doing? Gaming, possibly livestraming everyone once and awhile and maybe video editing.

I chose the i5 4460 because I think it has a really good value for how much it is.

The mono... I do not think I will be planning on upgrading the cpu anytime soon unless it all of a sudden can't play games so I went with a h97 board. If there is a better one for the price please let me know.

Now the GPU... Dx12 has done wonders for amd so far. From what I read in synthetic benchmarks the 290x performs better than the 980. I know it's not real world performance but it still says something. Whether its driver issues with nvidia it is a very compelling offer. How the 290x stacks up against the 390 I do not know. If the 390 seems like a better choice let me know. Also I get free games with the 290x.

Is the power supply good?????

Lastly, will I still be able to upgrade to windows 10 after I instal windows 8.1?

If you stuck around this long and left a comment, you're in fact awesome. Thanks everybody for the responses!!

for your build the Power Supply is pretty great. If i were you, i would fork out some extra cash and grab that AMD r9 390.The performance upgrade is actually quite good and worth the investment in my opinion. It should also let you play latest titles for a good amount of time.

That's what I was wondering. I had originally planned on getting that. What got me thinking was seeing the r9 290x keeping up with the 980ti on dx12... I know drivers are a thing and it was just one game but I got very interested in this.

power supply looks good. yes you will be able to upgrade to windows 10.
