So hello everyone it's my first post here :) Well I decided to buy a new gaming rig I'm not an expert and I don't know too much about computers and stuff but through some research I put together this rig:

 

CASE COOLERMASTER HAF 912 ADVANCED WINDOWED BLACK
PSU SEASONIC G-750 GOLD 750W
CPU INTEL CORE I5-4690K 3.50GHZ LGA1150 - BOX
MOTHERBOARD ASROCK Z97 KILLER RETAIL
RAM CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R VENGEANCE 8GB (2X4GB) PC3-12800 DUAL CHANNEL KIT RED
VGA ASUS STRIX RADEON R9 390 STRIX-R9390-DC3OC-8GD5-GAMING 8GB GDDR5 PCI-E RETAIL
SSD CRUCIAL CT240BX200SSD1 BX200 240GB 2.5'' 7MM SATA
HDD SEAGATE ST1000DM003 1TB BARRACUDA 7200.14 SATA3
SAMSUNG DVD-RW SH-224FB/BEBE SATA BLACK BULK
COOLERMASTER RR-212E-16PK-R1 HYPER 212 EVO
 
Now I'm really still trying to figure out which gpu to buy I'm stuck between the Asus GTX 970 and the r9 390 if you guys could give me some input and tell me something about the rig and which card would fit me better I'd appreciate it very much. I plan to play the following games : World of warcraft(I play alot of WoW and it favours Nvidia hence the 970) League of Legends, Cs:Go and I would like to play the current big tittles on ultra maybe 2 screens ?(fallout 4,bf4,Cod BO3 and so on) I really like strategy games alot too.
 
P.S English is not my native language I tried to fix most of the text so it's understandable.

Your rig looks fantastic to me. You should be able to run all the new games at ultra 1080 no issue. I dont play WoW so i dont know how well it will play on AMD but with that kind of card it cant be bad. I like NVIDIA but your setup is fine.

 

Also your english was perfect!

Get a sapphire or a power colour R9 390, Asus AMD cards are not great.

What's your budget and what will you use your PC for? I can see if I can get a better system in your price range. Also, is it just the tower or do you need peripherals?

Wow thank you guys for the quick answers ! Well my budget is I would say 1.400 Euros it's exactly the price that my current rig is standing at. As for the use as I said it's going to be a gaming pc and I also wrote which games I would like to play, And yeah I don't think the dvd drive is going to be usefull in the long run,but I want it to install the operating system I'll be buying with the pc.

What OS will you be running? If it's windows,install it of a USB stick! It's so much faster!
