Actually my first build, don't mind going high-end, I'd like a great rig with high ultra settings. Will probably oc to 4.5/4.7.

 

Everything look good? I'm new, like I said, so I may need some long-timers giving me some insight.

At this budget, you want a better GPU. Easily attained by getting a decent air cooler and a cheaper motherboard.

 

Also, don't get the V300 - not a great SSD. The Samsung 850 EVO, on the other hand, is.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

$212 is a lot for even the 4gb version of the gtx 960, this r9 380 is better 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202166

 

or if you prefer the 960 then this is a good option, i have this card

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125802

 

and i would upgrade to a more efficient psu like a evga g2

 

 

if i post a link to amazon try to use the LTT affiliate code to help the channel http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=linustechtips-20

Think I may go for this, from the looks of it.

 

What can I expect with this rig?

Easy to work in/build in.

 

High quality components.

 

All black, no accent colours.

 

60 fps gaming anywhere from medium to maximum graphic settings.
 

CPU will last 5+ years (gaming), at least two years on the R9 390. 

 

Moderate oc, maybe 4.5, maybe even higher.

 

GPU fans will probably be the loudest thing in the case.
