You don't really need very expensive motherboard.

Get cheaper one and you should be able to get R9 390 instead.

You can switch the motherboard to this one:

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI

It supports SLI and Crossfire.

You should be able to get R9 390.

And I don't really understand why 500GB HDD and 1TB HDD?

The 390 has more vram which is needed if you are gonna play mmo like shadow of mordor that has lots of textures to render

The ssd is for OS

500 GB is Black is thr Program Files Dir going to and the 1TB is foor mass storage

if you insist.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nhxQHx

- swapped out the mobo for something a tad cheaper (would have much rather put in an MSI krait, but it would clash with the obvious black/red colour scheme)

- went for 1600MHz ram, instead of 1866MHZ, because you wont see a difference.

- swapped both hard drives out for a singular WD black. if you insist on having a second HDD, find a refurb, they're cheap as all hell.

- swapped the 380 out for a 390, "due to popular demand"

- i'm letting the monitor stick, but i REALLY dont feel all too fab about that stand.. i'm a bit of a buisines-grade stand fanboy, but having at least decent height adjust is pretty nice.

- W10 isnt jingling my bells just yet, you could consider getting 8.1 for now, making sure your system is 100% stabile. but yeah, more so a personal choice like the monitor.

 

---

 

note on the mention of refurb drive: the idea is your WD black is doing all the work, because well.. thats what they're made for. some people prefer to have a seperate hard drive for their music library, scratch disk for recording/editing, etc. if thats the case, get a refurb, they're usually drives that have "stood the tand of time" and will last forever if treated well.

 

on your idea (@Moureau Niels) between the drives: theres better ways of handling that, but i like the way you think.

- SSD for OS makes sense, not gonna touch that.

- right after installing (and formatting the 2TB WD black i put in my build) you can make pictures, documents, etc. folders on your hard drive, and use file system junctions to connect them. resulting in the pictures, documents, etc. being in their "normal" place, but actually living on the HDD, i didnt do it, and i wish i did now...

- for every program you install, MANUALLY choose if you want it to be on the HDD (have several folders for sorting your programs, its amazing.) or if you want them on your SSD for fast load times. (250GB is plenty to have some programs there.)

- dont bother with installing your MMO of choice on an SSD, because theres ALWAYS gonna be that one guy with a 5400RPM drive, leaving you waiting either way.

If you have a black drive for program files you don't need a 500 gB for boot drive. 120 will be fine

You don't need an expensive cooler for an i5. Something like a Raijintek Themis or Alpenfohn Matterhorn pure edition would be fine.

 

Same thing with the motherboard. A board half the price would do the same job.

 

For the psu an EVGA G2/GS or XFX XTR would probably be a cheaper option than the Corsair RMi.

 

Instead of the two hard drives just go with a 2TB one and partition it. 

 

Also check out Skylake prices. If they are not too different in Belgium, then it makes more sense to go with the newer platform.
