Posted March 22, 2016 probably should get a higher wattage psu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 22, 2016 PSU isn't that great of a quality for a GPU like the 980Ti. A 500W SeaSonic or XFX would be much better. Any reason for the reference 980Ti? Cooling is pretty subpar 'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum. Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Posted March 22, 2016 I'd run an SSD, but I play games then delete them usually. I personally don't like looking at load screens all day. Great build though. Throw in the new Cooler Master MasterAir Maker 8 would look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooling is pretty subpar and cpu for that matter. I'd get a better cpu and a lesser GPU to balance the system out more. Also, an ssd.

Then realized the OP had been modified. @Heuron, you might want to add a note in the OP that the linked build has been updated. The gpu seems like an odd choice. There are models with better cooling solutions and performance around the same price. I would spend more on the motherboard. If necessary I'd get a slightly less expensive ssd, to improve the motherboard. 80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
