@bobbyqwe123 This one is much better then your setup. The R9 390 is stronger then the 970 in the first place!

The 970 and 390 typically trade blows in most games

and the 750w i choosed is cheaper than your 550w , i might want to SLI later on

the 750W you choose is poor quality and would likely not perform well when maxed out and is a bigger liability than the G-series.

The 390 is by far a better offering more than double the usable VRAM and about 5% more power

The 850 Evo is one of the best SSDs on the market and is highly respected for that.

The G-series PSU is also one of the best units on the market.

because 1333 MHz and 2400 MHz have a difference of 1 fps

dual channel and single channel have a difference of 20% on average.
