First PC build: any good?

[SquidInk]

I'm trying to build a PC to play all the games that will be coming out soon. It's my first time building so I'm not sure what sort of performance I'll be getting out of this build or how much money I should be spending. Any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Get a mass storage drive (maybe a hdd)

If your spending 2k maybe get a 980 or 980 ti?

If you plan on OCing get a better cpu cooler

Wouldnt recommend w10 just yet

If you want to video edit, then keep that i7.

Good luck!

Get an EVGA GS Series PSU, RM's are overpriced, as are all Corsair PSU's

The H440 has very restrictive airflow, but otherwise is good quality all around, just not the best design.

Get an R9 390 instead of a 970, it costs the same and has double the VRAM and performs nearly the same otherwise.

You don't need 16gb if you want to save some cash, 8gb is fine.

You don't need an i7 unless you're going to be streaming or doing production often, an i5 would be fine.

Also you will want a 1tb Western Digital Caviar Blue or something else for mass storage.

Should go for a 390 over a 970, but one sec

It's built to take a second 390 down the road, though I haven't updated it recently.

 

Also, just use linux *wink* *wink*

Would I be better off getting 980Ti instead? I've found one on amazon for $680

The 980 Ti is the best GPU you can buy right now
