So this partslist is for a gaming build I will be making, I plan on playing the latest AAA games such as Just Cause 3, GTA V, The Witcher 3 among others at 1440p high-ultra settings. I don't mind if the fps is at 45 fps because I can't really notice a difference from 45 to 60 which is why I went with a 390 I just don't want it dropping down to 30 fps or something. I also want it to last a year or 2 before I have to do any upgrades. Also, I was thinking of getting a Mionix Castor instead of a Logitech G502 but I'm not sure so opinions? Anyways, here's the build

If it's only a 60Hz monitor I"m not going to notice any fps over that and the R9 390 holds 45-60fps in most games anyways so I really don't need 90-110 fps using a 980ti
