So i've been doing a lot of research for the past month regarding my first gaming build and i've come up with this one.What do you guys think ?

Should i change anything ? (my monitor is 22 inch 1080p)

i haven't decided yet about the case fans but i am thinking 3 for AP front(intake) , 1 AP bot(intake) , 1 AP side(intake) , 1 AF back (exhaust) , 3 AF top ( exhaust)

 

Thanks !

You could save a bit and just get an i5 4460, if you're just gaming it'll do fine

There's also some lower cost coolermaster cases that are nice.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

  1. get a better cooling solution
  2. don't get the gigabyte board. won't let you set adaptive mode for your cache ratio and vring
  3. get an r9 390; performs better
  4. if you get the r9 390, get a 750w psu. 650w minimum

edit:

 

why don't you buy skylake?

 

I need a board that will be good for OC that's why i chose the gaming 5.

The 390 but which version ? (if i'm gonna pay 400euro for a card i need the best one on the market to last long till my next upgrade)

 

what is skylake ?

Skylake is the latest Intel mainstream cpu. It replaced Haswell (Z97). 

 

For AMD cards MSI and Sapphire are very good.

if you get the 390, get the msi version. it's not voltage locked which means you can overclock it more effectively
