Is this build good? Any Changes?

MrTeriyakiSauce · January 18, 2016

I was aiming towards a PC that is in the 1300-1400 Dollars range. This is what I put together for it and I want it to be able to run most games at high settings at 1920x1080 Resolution. I will also be running 2 monitors with it. Do you guys think there should be any changes to it? (The case I'm buying from my friend).

I would get a 390X and save a bunch of money(<$100) for only a slight drop in performance. I use a 390X and I have a friend who has a 980 and we have done comparisons. Thats an honest opinion.

You can fit in a 980ti

Id agree here, use the money saved to step up to H440 instead of the 340 or maybe even a 6700k as games are now starting to use the extra threads

And it has 8gb of Vram which at higher resolutions beats the GTX 980.

You can get a Fury for cheaper and better performance. Personally, I'd get a diffrent psu, but that's just me.

Yeah but he's playing at 1080p. If he has more money he should just buy a 1440p monitor

The 980 price is like $470. There was a bunch of sales awhile ago, guess they stopped. You can get a nano for only about $20 more though, so still: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-212490040g
