Ordering all of these parts for my new PC soon.

 

[The Build]

 

I am going to be doing gaming/editing, the two GTX 960's come with a recording software, which is why I chose it over the R9 280X card.

If you couldn't tell the theme I am going for is black and razer green.

 

I want a second look on the build from you guys before I order everything.

 

The budget is CDN$1800 - 2000.

Could get a cheaper EVGA psu, the cooler is a bit expensive the new h100i GTX goes on sale for just few bucks over if you want a better cpu cooler

I think i got my cooler for about $100

get an evga PSU and I don't think getting 2 960's is worth it even with the software, you can just download OBS for free and buy a single, better card.

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

Dual GTX 960 owner here and I don't necessarily recommend them but from in game results I can confirm the run as good if not better than a single GTX 980 and sometimes better than my older brothers 980ti.

i would get a single better card, a better psu and i would go with a different cooler, either go with a dual rad like the kraken x61 or go with an air cooler like the dark rock pro 3 or the nh d14 or 15

I agree just get one amd's 390 and that will be able to handle most of it

here are the changes i would recommend, 390x, better single gpu with more vram, a much better psu and a bigger ssd and a air cooler, a single thin rad wont move that much heat and will be much louder, the air cooler will be quieter and only has 1 point of failure which is easily fixed
