This build will mainly be used for gaming. Currently at 1080p, soon will be upgrading to 4k when monitors get cheaper. Or should I just wait for the Pascal GPU next year as this will not be built so quickly. Thanks for going through the trouble of reading through all these. Feel free to critisize as long as it will make the build better. For the 390, I am probably going to add a 390x when its time to move on to 4k.

What I would do is get a larger hard drive than 1TB and safe up some more money to egt a 250GB or 500GB SSD instead of the 1TB 120GB but I did as if you would had to spend those 1528 dollars right now.
