Next Gaming PC

[iWearKiltz]

Hi guys,
 
after getting rid of my old gaming pc about 2 years ago (due to education priority) I've been planning to build a new one..
 
here's the PC Part Picker link:

£1115.95 and 342W estimated.
 
I would like your guys advice on the build. I'm going for the 850W PSU so that in the future i can throw another GPU in there, and I'm debating between the i5 and i7 as I'm an engineering student and some apps can utilise the additional horsepower.
 
 
Please let me know if I have missed anything, I haven't been keeping track of the whole market in terms of computing tech..
 
Cheers, 
iWK

Go with a r9 390 or a GTX 980

Go with a r9 390 or a GTX 980

the price difference to a 980 is £100-150...

can you justify this? I can always throw another 970 in down the line

SLI scaling sucks. I'll make you a build for 1100 pounds that might end up being better.

If you can stretch to this, its much better. That Ti as a single GPU is just better than a future SLI rig. Only trust power supplies from SeaSonic and for storage? buy a bigger SSD when possible as a second drive or you can go over budget now and fit the 500GB SSD in right now.

You're welcome! Just make sure to add a fan or two inside the case just to make sure the components run cool.
