Is this a good build

[Epiceleon]

Yes, yes I understand that there are many people asking this besides me, but I will ask it anyway.

Good build bruh?

Anything I can do to make it cost a bit less?

Is i5-4460 a good cpu for the 960?

Any components I should replace?

Any problem you guys have had with some of these components?

Get an SSD and avoid the CX series.

I agree with this. SSD will make your life a lot better. I suggest an EVGA Super Nova PSU. That's what I have an I have nothing to complain about.

[CostcoSamples]

looks good

Get an SSD and avoid the CX series.

SSD isn't needed. Can be added later on. Also do you know WHY the CX series are bad? Or did hop on the bandwagon.

To OP- Get a R9 380 Sapphire Nitro. It will perform much better the the 960.

Look into XFX and SeaSonic power supplies. Will be worlds better then the CX series. ( I'll explain in a bit )

Not all EVGA power supplies are good. Especially,there lower end power supplies.

Because in addition to the negative reviews a friend of mine had one kill his Titan.

That's why I suggested the Super Nova series. It's perfectly fine in my opinion and a good price (at least mine was).

[nchilds98]

OK here's mine. It's a lot different but it's much cheaper and should still perform the exact same since the CPU will easily keep up with the 960 and perform everything you need it to. If you want, you can get a different case, I figured you might want to save a little space so I went mATX. Just message me or something if you have questions on it. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/98NQHx

But why aren't they good? Any Power Supply could kill a Titan, one of the most reliable ones in the world,could. I'll,explain if you want.

[DarkBlade2117]

That's why I suggested the Super Nova series. It's perfectly fine in my opinion and a good price (at least mine was).

Meh not all SuperNovas are good Eather, Don't go by that. All SuperNovas aren't even made by the same company. EVGA has some good,ones.

Such as the EVGA B2 G2 G2 t2 P2 and PS.

Some to stay away from are the EVGA G1, B Series, and B1 ( there may be more )

That's why I originally suggested an EVGA Super Nova. Not any other name. It's what I have and from my personal review it is perfectly fine and was a good price. It's a very suitable suggestion. I'm not talking about other Super Nova's or other series from EVGA so I have no idea why you are arguing that point at all.

I have no need for a ssd I dont really care about how long it takes to load games and windows], as long as it isnt too long.

[Epiceleon]

I agree with this. SSD will make your life a lot better. I suggest an EVGA Super Nova PSU. That's what I have an I have nothing to complain about.

Thanks!

[zzenigmaxzz]

slightly different, got you a better psu and squeezed in a small ssd for atleast your os and main programs

Yeah it's a great card for the money. Beats the 960'by a nice margin.
