Depends on what you need. 

 

I'd replace GTX960 with R9, but I'd still keep the HDD instead of putting only a single SSD. 

 

You'll install system, copy some files and you'll have 70 gigs left. Not much space for games and stuff.

 

Also, 1x8 is better than 4x2 - if you ever want to add more, you can just add it to the second slot instead of throwing one module out.

Forum members but case that doesn't look like a piece of shit

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo
