Hey guys this is my first time posting here but I often come here and look through the forums. Anyway I'm building my first gaming PC and was wondering if this will be a good PC. for 1080p 60fps gaming. I would like to do triple monitors in the future but im guessing id need sli cards for that. Some things are cheaper for me such as the graphics card,headphones and keyb oard and mouse because I work at BestBuy. Anyway and thoughts on my parts or even advice for a first time builder would be appreciated :)

Budget Around 1,200

The build he posted, the link is working for me.

 

In the OP, it leads you to your last edited build, not the OP's build.

CPU: check

Motherboard: check

RAM: 2x8GB would probably be a better way to do it

Storage: Seagate barracuda would be better, and maybe an SSD

GPU: an EVGA, or MSI would be a better form of the same card (or the R9 390)

PSU: NOPENOPENOPE get a B2, G2, or GS, or Seasonic

Headphones: HyperX Cloud IIs would be better

 

the rest is up to you (be prepared for Razer h8).
