$800 Gaming Pc

[CynicalRazr]

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to make plans to build my first gaming pc. I'll be playing games such as battlefield 3/4, CS:GO, CoD, maybe GTA, and would like to be able to play at 1080p with 60fps or close to that on most games at decent settings. I have some parts picked out, and I'll link them below. I would just like some feedback or any changes other experienced people would make. Thanks! (Oh and I do not need ram(spare 16gb ddr3) or windows(7), already got that).

I would get new PSU... like EVGA/XFX/HX/RM/AX just not CX or VS series.

Get a H97 mobo, a better PSU, a 390, and try to squeeze a SSD in there

That PSU will probably blow up it your face. Get an EVGA G2 or GS instead.

Get a Seagate HDD, they cost a little less.

You don't need a Z97 motherboard, I'd get a B85 or H97 motherboard instead.

The R9 390 preforms slight better than the 970 in most games.

I would say swap the hard drive out with an ssd for now so boot up times will be better, and you can add a hard drive once you saved up enough a little later (or just go ahead and add an sdd along with it). And also make sure your memory is dual channel so you can take full advantage of your motherboard's ram slots speed.

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone! I will look into upgrading the psu, and most likely not a ssd, but we'll see...
