My first gaming PC

[Qrko]

I'm planning to build a gaming computer mostly for FPS like CS GO, but no only for CS maybe sometimes do some school work on it also. I live in Finland and budget is about 900-1050€ without Windows. Peripherals I already have and I will use only one monitor for now. This is my build what I'm thinking.

 

-Intel core i5 4460

-Asus H97-Plus

-HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3

-MSI GTX 970 

-Kingston 120GB SSD

-WD Caviar Blue 1TB

-Cryorig H7

-EVGA SuperNova 550W

-Corsair Carbide 400C

I know the case is expensive compared to the build and that the CPU Cooler ain't necessary but I just have the stock cooler. But I'm open for recommendations and changes.

I really want to know your opinion about my CPU and motherboard.

Since you aren't gunna overclock the CPU, I'd go with the hyper 212 evo or just a stock cooler.

 

Other than that, looks good.

Change the 970 for an r9 390 for extra performance and future-proofing.

I could do few of those changes but maybe not the SSD and the graphics card because R9 390 is almost 100€ more expensive than gtx 970

If the cheapest 390 is $100 more than the cheapest 970, then yeah, go with the 970. Unless, any places selling the 290/290x around you?

I actually found a R9 390 just 10€ more than 970 so maybe I will go with that. But why 390 over 970 ?

Just generally better performance on avg. (not by much to be fair) in DX11. As of now, much better DX12 performance.

The 390 preforms marginally better compared to the 970, plus it has more VRAM, so it does better at higher resolutions.

[Qrko]

Okay then I will buy a MSI R9 390

[Qrko]

What about the RAM amount is 8GB enough for gaming or should I save for 16GB ?
