Well then if you like physx then get the 970 lol. I would choose the 390 because of its 8 gigs of vram

[user328453]

Here in canada r9 390x is 100$+R9 390, so thats a no-no if its the same thing there.

 

If i were you i would wait for a few months to get my hands on either pascal or polaris. And there is a new amd zen architecture coming out close to the end of the year but thats a bit too long to wait but i wanted to let you know just in case you didnt.  

 

out of topic but is that core i5 "unlocked" i.e k edition ?

gpu: great choice

cpu: i5... what? i5 6600k? i5 6400? i5 6600?

ram: well i would recommend going with kingston hyperx or corsair vengeance lpx, but you can try these to see if they work with skylake

motherboard: not bad  its an overclocking board, but is your cpu overclock-able?

PSU: unknown, i recommend you get a better one though, like the EVGA Supernova G2 or the Corsair RM series

case: personal preference, i have no comment on this

SSD: dont get the kingston v300, try getting a samsung 850 evo, the v300 have issues (click to find out more about it)

HDD: lol 3tb, well as long as it holds a better gb per dollar, then thats fine

CPU Cooler: not the best out there, but i guess it'll do the job, alternately i recommend the H100i GTX from Corsair
