Okay, for a GTX 960 you DO NOT need a 1kW PSU.

[arronleeds]

the fuck... 1000watt overpriced psu.... get a evga gs 750 watt, be happy and save money, spend that saved money on a better gpu.

[Raccatography]

my thoughts on your rig:

 

CPU Cooler - Noctua U14S - Performs just as well as a Corsair H100i and it's actually cheaper. Comes with 6-year warranty

PSU - Any Seasonic/EVGA under 750W (Gold/Bronze). Your 1000W is overkill.

RAM - How about Ripjaws G.Skill X Series 2x8GB. It comes in red so it'll match your motherboard

GPU - Can't you get a GTX 970? Their prices have dropped in my area. Go for a R9 390X if you're running at 1440p.

SSD - Samsung 850 EVO 250gb and WD Caviar Blue 1TB. Slap in a Seagate Barracuda 3TB if those aren't enough.

 

What is your case and what is your monitor?

[arronleeds]

if you give us an actual budget and currency we can help, its no good saying "i dont have a budget" then saying its overpriced.

[Doonan10]

So would you (all) recommend getting a 750w? And for the resolution, 1920x1080 - 16:9

[vpavlicevic]

If you what to save some money for OS chose Windows 7 and upgrade to Windows 10 you would save about 100$

[Doonan10]

For a budget, mine is 3.5k USD.

For a Case I was thinking of Ultra Gladiator Black Mid-Tower Case, since I need two usb ports for my headset and mouse and one extra in case I want to use it

Thank you for the help. But I am not certain if I will need two video cards, may you explain your reasoning?

Sorry, that was a saved build I had, I forgot to take out the second card out. Let me fix it.
