I've asked this question countless times but I think I've finally got it. What do you guys think?

Is it worth the money?

 

Also, is the case made of metal?

 

Changed the RAM: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/BMpm6h

PSU seems a little overkill to be honest.

Other than that. I thought they looked cool. Only £10 more than the vengeance ones.

Looks great though that Ram is a bit overpriced, what about the LPX from corsair?

Also the CPU cooler, a BeQuiet! Pure Rock or Cryorig H7 for the same price are quieter and perform a bit better.

That's what I thought. But I'm leaving room for CrossFire.

Get a better cooler and the PSU only needs to be 550-650W at the most unless you plan to xfire in the future.

What cooler would you recommend?

Crossfire later, a overkill PSU is never a bad idea. My rig pulls 300w and I've got a 850w, though it allows me to get nearly any single or dual GPU setup.

Can't quite tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

I can't hate against the Plats if I tried.

 I suppose but I didn't know that he was going to be doing that. I prefer single GPU's tbh, tried 660ti SLI, wasn't really worth it and got a 970 instead.

It doesn't say if it fits the LGA1151 socket but I'm pretty sure it will.

So do I though if I were to say get a 290x, later on I'd much rather buy another since they are getting cheaper and cheaper
