I'll assume you're a newbie to the PC building world? And yes, AMD does support Windows.

I totally forgot about the 860k, nice one man, but should we try to find a case with a PSU just to save some cost?

You're missing a PSU and ASUS AMD GPUs are bad.

the case comes with a PSU and I haven't heard anything wrong with ASUS GPUS

this fourm is being a bitch hold on

[Amazingasian]

Asus doesn't make good AMD cards.  VRMs aren't cooled properly.  Don't go with PSUs included in cases.  They tend to suck.  Your build won't outperform mine.  I would suggest going with mine because it has a better PSU and GPU.

[DarkHunter970]

Well, they'll both perform the same anyways. I'm just attempting to try and lower the price.
