Need help for new build

First time computer builder here, I need some serious help on my build. I plan to spend around £800, bearing in mind I still have to get all of the peripherals, so that will set me back another £450  :blink: I will play games like: Counterstrike: GO, Minecraft, Fallout 4  :wub: and Battlefield 4. I also want to have a triple monitor set-up, (one will be fine for the time being). I plan to be a YouTuber so I was wondering if this build would be okay for video editing/streaming.  :P

 

BUILD

 

Case: NZXT S340 (White)

CPU: Intel core i7 4790K 4.0GHz

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 SSC

Motherboard: MSI Z97 Guard-Pro

CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO (not sure whether to go with this one, or an all-in-one cooler  :wacko:)

RAM: Hyper-X Fury 16GB (2x8GB)

Storage: (not sure on this one, definantley want a 1TB or higher HDD)

SSD: Crucial MX200 250GB

Power: (not sure how much power is necessary for this build)

 

I plan to overclock in the future (hence the GPU and CPU)

 

PERIPHERALS

Headset: (undecided, suggestions welcome)

 

If you have any questions or need any links to the parts just tell me, thanks  :)

R9 390 is better if you're wanting to run multiple monitors in the future & currently it's just better anyway.

 

cum at me

+1, 390 is better for higher resolutions but just remember, it does use more power and runs hotter

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

I vote 390 cause you clearly needs more GPUs in the future(3 monitor setup) and Crossfire > SLI is still a thing so AMD is best pick here UNLESS your PSU cannot handle it? :P

390x or just 390?

is there a 390x? Didn't think there was yet. My 290 kills any game I throw at it in 1080p, but overkill is never a bad thing in my opinion.

There is a 390x...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

this should serve you well. the r9 390 outperforms the 970 in benchmarks. 750w is perfect for this build. the xfx gpu is great and is not voltage locked; overclocks very well

 

for a monitor, i would suggest a Asus VG248QE (1080p) or the Acer XG270HU (1440p)
