planning Are my PC parts Good?

[Josue9988]

I am designing a new computer (obviously) and I want to know if my choices are good or if there are better deals out there and would like any input.

Spoiler

1) i wouldnt recommend getting a single rad AIO over an air cooler, either go with heatsinks or straight to dual rad

2) WD blacks are over priced, get a WD blue, and get 2tb if u can because it offers better value per gb

3) get a 380 if you dont need nvidia features

4) try getting an EVGA Supernova G2 550W PSU, its much better

Yeah seems like a solid 1080p gaming machine. You´re good to order I´d say. Enjoy your new PC .

Speaking as the owner of a WD Black drive, the difference in speed is not worth the difference in price. I'd dump the Black, replace it with a Caviar Blue, then put the savings toward a 120GB boot SSD.

 

I also wouldn't screw around with 120mm AIOs. They're outperformed by most high-quality air coolers. IMO, either go in for a 240mm AIO or something like an NH-D14/D15, R1, Dark Rock Pro, etc.

 

Also, speaking as a GTX 960 owner, many here will scream at you to ditch the 960, and for good reason. The R9 380 is faster at the same price point, but the 960 has some real pluses like lower heat (important if you're trying to save Celsius for a higher overclock), lower power consumption, and NVIDIA-specific features like Shadowplay. In most cases, imo, the 380 is the better choice.

#TeamRed is the best choice for GPUs at almost all price ranges. (Well almost)

The Radeon Duo Pro should give the Titan X a run for its money (but the RDP might be more expensive than the Titan X?)

The Pro Duo will outright BEAT the Titan X into oblivion. Also, @Josue9988

Additionally I'd say that if he could spend even $88 more he could get a nice SSD but I'm not sure how far he's willing to go.
