I would agree, but they would also have to upgrade their PSU to a 650W.

Looks good, but you could always go for a Z97 build and use the savings on a better GPU if this PC is pretty much only for gaming.

A 550W psu would run that just fine.

Yeah. Power is ONE issue if I do that. Another issue is, the Nvidia Shadowplay is something that I need. Not looking to spend another few years with AMD's DVR program. I've dealt with their DVR program for over 2 years now and it has frustrated me every single time I've used it. Definitely would go with the 390 tho. If only AMD had better recording software...

Stick with nvdida we have cookies.. ANYWAY looks good to me. I'd get a 256gb ssd though as the 120 will fill up instantly.
