First PC Build

[The Bar]

I am building a new PC and need help in seeing if this setup will work, what I need to change, etc. What would be the best optical drive for gaming and wireless adapter.  My budget is under $3000 with everything (monitor, keyboard, mice). Thanks in advance.

Get Western Digital HDD instead of Seagates.

Since you're still under you budget, you could change the CPU to the new I7-6700K with hyper threading.

do you already have a case?

 

I wouldn't bother with optical, I aint used one for 2 years

Better SSD, dont SLI GTX 980s. Oh, and this has a ultrawide monitor. 'cause ultrawide monitors are cool. It's also a smidge underbudget

You could have gone for one 980 ti and an i7 6700k but what you have is alright.

Would the Western Digital Blues be a good hard drive?  I've thought about the i7-6700K and decided to go with the i5 instead and I do have a case.

already looking into changing it

[Lethal Seraph]

So far build looks okay but have you tried using ultrawide monitors before? I think having two 980ti on a 24" is a waste, either go higher screen size or go wider 1080p or even get 1440hz since its 980ti-SLI.

here. try this out. i choose the gaming m5 instead of m7 because there is not much difference in the board, so u can save some money and get the m5 instead. also, the m5 has promotion right now. free rainbow six siege.

i picked a g-sync monitor. so it will be a little bit out of your price range. also corsair keyboard and logitech mouse. best peripherals ever. u can thank me later.
