$1000 (USD) Mostly gaming

[NightCoreHD]

Hey everyone! Im planing on buying and building a new gaming/workstation pc. I've got a budget of $1000 (USD), but im felxible to go around $50 above. I'm new to pc building, but I've torn down pc's before, and know the parts and layouts. All prices in USD and prices are from amazon. The links will be below eveything

Let's get started shall we?

For the graphics card I've picked out the MSI R9 390 8GB CARD, for $352.49 (USD)

It may be over powerd for 1080p, but I like to go big or go home, so if its a good deal, I'll be all for it.

I want to play most to all games at 1080p at max settings. So I think it would be good.

For the RAM I'm going for the Corsair Vengeance Red 16GN (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz for $82.99 (USD)

Matches the build, and its reputable.

For the Motherboard I've gone for the MSI 970 ATX AMD $112.85

Plenty of port and AMD campatibility

For the CPU I've gone for the AMD FX-8350 Black Edition 8 core $169.99

Its and 8 core, so it will be good for gaming and working.

Storage I've gone for an SSD for the OS and a HDD for everything else

SSD Kingston Digital 120GB $50.00

HDD WD Green 2TB $78.99

The PSU I've gone for the Corsair CX 600 watt ($69.99 )

TRIDE AND TRUE

And finally for the case! The Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 for $73.01

Thats my build, It comes to around $990.31 USD! With out an OS! Any recomendations on how to install that, and to fit it into budget. I have a windows 8 install disk.

If y'all recomend an all-in-one liqud cooler for this build, to put the budget to around $1550 that would be great! What do you guys think? Please leave some feed back, it would make my day if you guys could help me out here!

It has its uses, and I'd probably purchase one, too since I can use it properly, but with gaming... eehhhhhh

Psu's bad. No ssd in a $1,000 build? 390's cheaper and performs just as well as a 970.

Blender and hyper~v for me. Only game s I play is an mmo, Euro truck and dungeon defenders hardly needing the single tread power.

Do you really need all those fans? And why spend so much extra for that windows 7?

All of the fans will fit in the case, keep everything cool, I don't really mind the noise. And i want to have Windows 7. All though I may go Windows 8.
