My First Build - Feedback?

[VeryRoomy]

My first build HYPE!

The budget goal is not to exceed $950ish.

Have a power supply already so that's why it's missing.

Any feedback would be great!

get a 500-650 watt psu. also, take out the wireless card, you dont need it. or get a board with wireless onboard

Here are some of my suggestions:

Get dual channel RAM (2x4gb) as it is gnereally better than single channel

Instead of a 970, consider a 390 as it beats out the 970 at higher resolutions, at around the same price.

Don't get that SSD as it is extremely slow, grab a crucial or samsung one. Also you may want to consider mechanical storage as well.

Good luck!
