$1400 PC Build

[sammybluu]

Hi guys/gals/others! 
I'm buying a new pc somwhere in between xmas and new year's and would like some help/tips. 
My total budget including shipping would be at $1430. The only real requirement that I'm picky about is the case, really want a blue case. This is my build so far:http://www.inet.se/kundvagn/visa/8930889/so-far
I live in Sweden but it lands on around $1300. I'm missing the 2-3TB HDD and could possibly save some money in using my old PSU. I just really want something new and fresh ~ 

My OLD AND FIRST pc (about 2 years old budget build): 

CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black Edition (4.2GHz OC) 
Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo 
GPU: 2GB Sapphire Vapor-X R9 270x (1120 MHz Core and 1500 Memory OC) 
SSD: Kingston V300 120GB 
MOBO: AsRock 970 Extreme 4 
PSU: Corsair RM 650W Gold 
HDD: 1TB WB Green 
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz 8GB 

EDIT 1: I would like to of course OC my CPU and GPU a bit. 
EDIT 2: For the past two years of using my computer I've only been playing games like League, GTA V and BattleBlock Theater settings that have given me an okay framerate and would of course want to be able to play anything really. I don't need to have everything on ultra settings as long as I can have my 60+FPS. 

Any input is greatly appreciated <3 
Happy holidays! ~

Looks good.

 

Change that 970 to R9 390.

 

Can you find Hyper 212 evo?

 

I'd change the PSU to EVGA G2 varient.

It's my opinion about 980.

 

It's not really a good card for the price.

 

I'd throw 2x R9 390 and crush single 980's performance.

Here's my take on it, decided to ramp it all the way up with a beefy 980ti, instead of having to deal with the hassles of SLI/Crossfire. As for your case, it's a matter of preference. I really don't have any suggestions but I'm sure someone will have one you'd like.

Impressive one. NEX series are not really good. I'd change that to a EVGA G2 one.

Case?  sorry, nevermind, i didn't read to the end

[Arc_Jester]

Get a 390 instead of the 970 or go up a couple of notches to a 390X, Fury or a 980Ti/Fury X.

[The_Sandman]

It's my opinion about 980.

 

It's not really a good card for the price.

 

I'd throw 2x R9 390 and crush single 980's performance.

 

Ok, my thought was because it is a smaller case it would be better to just have 1 GPU since a single card will not produce that much heat as a dual card setup does.

 

And he could of course go with a 980 Ti which would be a even better single card solution but i wanted to stay in budget

[HKZeroFive]

Case?

 

Like I said, matter of preference. I gave OP a gap of $70-100 because I don't know what range of cases he can get. I'm sure someone here will have a good suggestion.

Right, Then how about a Single 390x.

It's close to a 980.

Thank you all so much for your answers <3
Okay, so first off:
I don't mind you using other sites like amazon or pc part picker to show builds, it's actually more appreciated since the site I'm using a bit of an overpriced site when it comes to processors and such.
2: When I look at the RAM costs however, I get my RAM for $72 in swedish crowns, which i think is pretty sweet, but if the other RAM will give me better performance, then I will go for the more expensive offer as long as I can stay in budget.
3: Heat is no prob as long as I don't lose out on performance. Speaking of which, got any preferred cooling paste?

You're all super helpful and I'm grateful like no other <3
